Corporate Responsibility Sustainability

Corporate Responsibility / Sustainability

With our corporate responsibility activities, we want to make a positive contribution to a sustainable development of our company and of society.

It involves the systematic integration of social and environmental aspects into our business strategy. Corporate responsibility is no add-on; it needs to be integrated into core processes at Linde.

Corporate responsibility does not stop at the gate of our production sites: It concerns every step in our products’ value chain, from the development of our products to their use and disposal where possible.

Corporate responsibility at Linde is aimed at:

minimizing risks and saving costs
meeting customers’ requirements
attracting and retaining employees
supporting company values
strengthening our reputation as a trusted partner

Linde has developed a sustainability self-assessment for suppliers as part of the supplier qualification program.
