Ecolab Inc. has been named one of the 2020+ Top Companies for Executive Women by Working Mother Media (WMM). This recognition celebrates companies that champion women’s advancement, with a focus on succession planning, senior management positions, gender pay parity, support programs and work-life balance programs.

“We are honored to be named to this list and we celebrate the gains that have been made collectively on behalf of women everywhere,” said Beth Simermeyer, Ecolab executive vice president and president of the company’s Healthcare, Life Sciences and Hand Care group, who also serves as executive sponsor of E3, the company’s employee resource group (ERG) dedicated to the advancement of women. “I’m fortunate to work with incredibly talented female leaders at Ecolab and I’m very proud of all we have accomplished together – helping to educate and empower others and helping our ERG community continue to grow and drive a more diverse, equitable and inclusive culture.”

The 2020+ Top 75 Companies award, based on 2019 data, tracks and examines how many employees have access to programs and policies that promote advancement of women and how many employees take advantage of them. It takes into account how companies train managers to help women advance, especially in senior management roles with profit-and-loss oversight responsibilities. To be considered, companies must have a minimum of two women on their boards of directors, a U.S.-based CEO and at least 1,000 U.S. employees.
