Ecolab Inc. (NYSE: ECL) announced it will implement a global energy surcharge of 10-14% on all products and services effective April 1, 2026, the company stated in a press release.

The surcharge varies by local market conditions and applies to all businesses and countries where the St. Paul, Minnesota-based company operates. Ecolab cited rising global energy costs driven by Middle East conflict as the primary reason for the pricing adjustment.

According to the company, oil prices have increased approximately 60% since the end of 2025, while natural gas prices have risen nearly 80% in Europe. These increases have affected raw materials, manufacturing, and logistics costs throughout Ecolab's global supply chain.

"The magnitude and pace of recent energy cost increases now require this surcharge to mitigate the dramatic rise in oil and gas costs and its impact on raw material and logistics inflation," said Christophe Beck, Ecolab's chairman and chief executive officer.

The company stated the surcharge will be monitored and may be adjusted as market conditions change. Ecolab serves customers across 40 industries in more than 170 countries, providing water, hygiene, and infection prevention solutions.

The energy price volatility stems from supply disruptions, transportation constraints, and geopolitical developments related to the Middle East conflict, according to the press release. Ecolab reported $16 billion in annual sales and employs 48,000 people globally.
