Deals between ECL and its directors, executives, owners of more than 5% or their families: a relative on the payroll,
a plane the company charters from its CEO, a director's company that buys from it. SEC rules (Item 404) make the company list every such deal over $120,000 in its proxy statement.
Below: what the proxy filed 2026-03-20 reports that the one filed 2025-03-24 did not, quoted as filed.

RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
“The Governance Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing, approving, or ratifying transactions and proposed transactions in excess of $120,000 with the Company’s executive officers or directors, including their immediate family members, or any greater than 5% stockholder known to us. The Company has written practices and procedures for identifying transactions with related persons. The Governance Committee considers the related person’s relationship to the Company and interest in the transaction; the material facts of the transaction, including the proposed aggregate value of such transaction; the benefits to the Company of the proposed related-person transaction; if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable products or services; an assessment of whether the proposed related person transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to an unrelated third party or to employees; and such other factors and information as the Governance Committee may deem appropriate. The Governance Committee determined that there were no such transactions with related persons since the beginning of 2025, nor any currently anticipated transactions.”

Paragraphs are compared by their words, not read by AI: one counts as new when no paragraph last year shares half of its words, or when it names a person or company last year's section did not.
A deal reported again with a new amount is not new. Always check the filing.
