With its customers, the Group is committed to working towards a clean and sustainable industry. Thanks to its essential molecules management (oxygen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide…) and the in-depth knowledge of its customers’ processes, Air Liquide offers technologies which allow them to improve the energy efficiency of their industrial processes and reduce their emissions.
With ecosystems, via an active dialogue with a range of players (public authorities, industrial partners, NGOs, etc.), Air Liquide contributes to the development of a low-carbon society, in particular by developing biomethane for industry and transport and by promoting hydrogen which, in terms of both mobility and energy, will play a key role in the energy transition and the fight against climate change.
In July 2019, the Group joined the Science‑Based Targets (SBT) initiative, a label created by a coalition of stakeholders committed to environmental issues. The Science-Based Target initiative provides companies with a methodology for setting a GHG emissions reduction target based on climate science and in line with a 2°C or below scenario.
