Largest Ecolab Inc. shareholders voting in 2025-2026

Each is ranked by the shares voted on the item that the most managers of that type reported, shown as a share of the 281,400,000 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

About this page

Every figure above is derived from filings made with the US Securities and Exchange Commission: Form N-PX, in which registered funds disclose how they voted every proxy and institutional managers disclose their votes on executive pay (say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and golden parachutes), and Form 8-K Item 5.07, in which the company reports its own meeting results. Shares outstanding are taken from Ecolab Inc.’s 10-Q dated March 31, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 13, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At Ecolab Inc.'s shareholder meeting held May 7, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 1,213 asset managers reported how they voted on 16 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 16,560 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers disclosed in… — Ecolab Inc.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 94% support of the votes cast (FOR divided by FOR plus AGAINST, the conventional basis for proxy support; abstentions, broker non-votes and unvoted shares are excluded because none of them took a side).
