Public authorities

Our Public Affairs policy

Air Liquide has formalized a Public Affairs policy governing the Group’s interactions with the national, regional and international public spheres to develop growth opportunities, reduce risks relating to regulatory changes, and involve Air Liquide in public debate.

All the Group’s actions respect the official lobbying regulations in force in the countries in which it is present. Air Liquide is therefore listed in the “Transparency Register” of European institutions and in France in the “Interest Representatives” register which was created in 2017 and is managed by the High Authority of Transparency in Public Life (Haute Autorité pour la Transparence de la Vie Publique – HATVP).

Managers specializing in Public Affairs have been appointed in the principal countries, comprising a network of around 20 people worldwide, coordinated by the European and International Affairs Division.

The tasks of these managers are to follow public initiatives that may have an impact on the Group and to interact with the public authorities to defend or promote Air Liquide’s interests.
