Shareholders' magazine | Key moments

Air Liquide has just announced ambitious sustainability objectives, which represent a very important stage of the Group’s history. On this occasion, Benoît Potier, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Air Liquide, addresses shareholders.

On the occasion of Air Liquide’s 2020 Annual Results publication, Benoît Potier, Chairman & CEO, discusses in video the highlights and outstanding performance of your Group during that year marked by the health crisis:

Air Liquide has completed in Bécancour, Canada, the construction of the world's largest PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolyzer. Fully supplied with renewable energy, provided by Hydro-Québec, this site strengthens Air Liquide’s position as a major player in the supply of low-carbon hydrogen.

Air Liquide sends its 420,000 shareholders its warmest wishes for this new year. In 2021, more than ever, let’s keep on inventing the future.

Air Liquide wins this prestigious Grand Prix (top prize) for Corporate Governance for the third time. The award reflects the Group’s commitment to the quality of its governance.

Around nine million people in France currently face poverty¹, including almost one million young people between the ages of 16 and 25 who are not in employment, training or education². To deal with this situation, professional integration is a primary focus which is played out at a local level, as close as possible to the most vulnerable groups. The non-profit organization ARES knows this and is an advocate of this approach.

Since 2008, the Air Liquide Foundation has supported several projects in two main areas: scientific research and local development. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, it contacted its partners — including research bodies and non-profit organizations — to offer them emergency assistance.

The Institut du Capitalisme Responsable (Institute for Responsible Capitalism) takes a look back in a special magazine at the 2020 General Meetings season, which was unprecedented. An opportunity for Benoît Potier to review the challenges and opportunities that came up with the digitalization of this event, so important to the Group and shareholder democracy.

The 2020 General Meeting took place a few weeks ago, in an unprecedented fully digital format. As the Minutes of this Meeting have just been released, let’s have a look (back) at what was not to be missed!
