Ecolab to implement 10%-14% energy surcharge

Ecolab (ECL) will implement a global 10%-14% energy surcharge, depending on local market conditions, on all its products and services, effective April 1, applicable to all businesses and countries. The company said, “Due to the war in the Middle East, global energy markets have experienced significant price volatility in recent weeks driven by supply disruptions, transportation constraints, and geopolitical developments. Since the end of 2025, oil prices have increased close to 60%, while natural gas prices have risen sharply across global markets, including nearly 80% in Europe, contributing to major cost increases for raw materials, manufacturing, and logistics throughout our global supply chain. This energy surcharge will be monitored closely and might be adjusted as market conditions evolve.”
