A Culture of Innovation and Performance  [ Return towards  The Group's principles of action  ]

Innovation is an essential pillar of Air Liquide’s growth strategy and of its success. It is not only the product of Research and Development but also stems from its employees’ creativity which is stimulated, recognized and shared via an organized management system.

Performance is the priority objective for everyone at Air Liquide, in all areas and at all levels. Performance is the product of the competencies of all our employees, their ability to continually rethink and question matters in order to advance, and their willingness to work together in teams and share best practices for rapid implementation. Sustained performance is achieved through strict management. This requires using measurement tools, recognizing performance and adhering to a common reference framework founded on discipline.

Innovation and performance rely on a common and shared reference and management system.
