Information regarding Air Liquide’s assets in Russia

On August 29, 2025, Air Liquide was made aware of the Russian authorities’ decision to place Air Liquide Group’s Russian assets under state administration.

This decision confers control of Air Liquide’s assets in Russia to the Russian Government, as it has already done for other entities previously owned by European companies. 

Air Liquide takes note of this decision and will examine all available courses of action.

For the record, and as indicated in a press release issued on September 2, 2022, the Group’s activities in Russia were not consolidated any more since September 1, 2022, and were currently in the process of being sold. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2022, the Group announced an exceptional provision of - 586 million euros, with no impact on cash flow, covering the impairment of all the Group’s assets in Russia. Since that date, there has been no residual financial exposure for the Group in Russia.
