Overview
Ecolab (Ecolab Inc.) is a United States–based company providing water, hygiene and infection prevention solutions and services. The company’s global headquarters is located in Saint Paul, Minnesota.[1] Ecolab traces its founding to 1923 in St. Paul, Minnesota.[2]
Boycott
Ecolab is listed for boycott due to documented federal contracting that supplies cleaning products/services supporting ICE detention operations. Public reporting has described Ecolab as holding a multi-year contract to supply laundry and dishmachine detergent to ICE’s Florence detention center in Arizona.[3]
In addition, federal spending records show a Department of Homeland Security award to ECOLAB INC (award summary page).[4]
Background
ICE detention facilities and field operations rely on contractors and vendors for facility supplies and services, including cleaning, sanitation, and laundry/warewashing products. Because these services materially support detention capacity and day-to-day operations, ICE List documents and, where applicable, boycotts companies whose contracting helps sustain immigration enforcement infrastructure.[4]
