A corporate citizen [ Return towards  Sustainable Development  ]

The Social and Environmental Responsibility Policy defines the commitments made by the Group in the framework of its activities to promote the respect for and safety of men and women, the protection of the environment, ethics and participation in the economic and social environment of the regions in which it operates.

Air Liquide promotes strong ethical principles: the Group’s subsidiaries are encouraged to implement local codes of conduct, in their working languages. At the end of 2011, 90% of the Group’s employees belonged to subsidiaries with a code of conduct.

The Air Liquide Foundation supports research projects on the environment and healthcare and accompanies micro-initiatives in favor of local development.
