A true pioneer, Air Liquide was the first company to establish a committee composed of shareholders in 1987. The purpose of the Shareholders’ Communication Committee (SCC) is to make proposals to improve the relationship between Air Liquide and its shareholders. Learn about the Committee members and how to join them.
The mission of the SCC is to represent Air Liquide shareholders and relay their expectations and questions to the Group’s management.
The Committee, which meets three times a year, is chaired by Chairman and CEO Benoît Potier. It is composed of 12 shareholders, appointed for three non-renewable years, who reflect the diversity of Air Liquide’s individual shareholders.

The Committee, accompagned by Air Liquide employees visits the Air Liquide Manufacturing Direction in Vitry-sur-Seine.

Every year in September, four new members join the Committee after passing the required interviews.
The selection of these members is based on criteria such as age, professional experience, geographical location and financial stake in the Air Liquide Group. The selection aims to create a Committee that reflects as closely as possible the structure and diversity of the Group's shareholders.
