Investir Day Live: online speeches

• Mr François Jackow, Group Chief Executive Officer: “Air Liquide strategy and outlook: a Group committed to the future”: 

The most challenging issues right now are inflation, the war in Ukraine, the energy transition and the fight against climate change. In a shapeshifting and complex environment, managing things in the short term should never be to the detriment of a strategic long-term vision. The resilience of Air Liquide’s business model is a vital asset in these times. It is based not only on the diversity of the markets the Group serves and the countries in which it operates, but also on a unique capacity for innovation. All of this means the Group is now able to position itself in growth-driving markets of the future such as electronics, home healthcare and the decarbonization of industry and mobility.

• Mr Patrick Renard, Director of the Shareholder Services Department: “Different factors that contribute to the profitability of a share portfolio. The Air Liquide example.”

Many factors contribute to the profitability of an equity investment. Share price performance is not the only thing to take into account. There are also all the variables that swell your portfolio over time, such as dividends and, in the case of Air Liquide securities, regular free share awards and the loyalty bonus. So how can we properly assess the profitability of an equity investment over time?

Industry and transport alone are responsible for 45% of CO2 emissions. Decarbonization is a prerequisite for achieving climate objectives, but it also ensures competitiveness within the industry. Industrial companies are simultaneously the problem and the solution. How can we reduce these emissions while facilitating growth and value creation?
