in sustainable development

« Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. »

Creating value for shareholders

For over a century, Air Liquide and its shareholders have enjoyed a relationship of mutual trust. The Group puts its shareholders at the heart of its strategy, with a single objective: increasing investment value through the sustained and steady growth of earnings and dividends over the long term.

Developing the potential of women and men

Nearly 38,000 men and women in over 70 countries make up multicultural and multidisciplinary teams. Air Liquide promotes diversity, facilitates and speeds up knowledge transfer, motivates and involves its employees and encourages social and human commitment.

Preserving life and the environment

Safety for people and sites

Safety is a real priority not only for the Air Liquide teams but also at its subcontractors and customers’ sites. This strong emphasis on safety has helped the Group to cut its accident frequency rate by two thirds in 15 years.

Preserving the environment

Air Liquide plays an active part in preserving the environment, both in the Group’s operations and at customers’ sites.

Innovating for tomorrow

Teams at research, technology and engineering centers worldwide move the Group forward in three major directions:

  • sustainable environment,
  • healthcare and hygiene
  • and advanced technologies.

These teams develop innovative and competitive processes for gas production, create new applications and service offerings, disseminate technical expertise throughout the Group and take part in an active scientific watch.
