Increasing Air Liquide’s positive impact means developing our employees’ ability to engage and go the extra mile for customers, patients and society as a whole. By creating a safer, more collaborative and inclusive work environment and providing the right support, we aim to empower our employees to develop their full potential.
Safety for all of our employees and our stakeholders
Safety is a fundamental value and is an integral part of Air Liquide’s operational excellence and culture. The Group is committed to efficiently reducing exposure to professional and industrial risks for its employees, customers, subcontractors, suppliers and local communities. In 2024, Air Liquide’s achieved its lowest ever lost-time accident frequency rate for both employees and subcontractors.
Safety: a zero-accident ambition
Believing in diversity as a source of performance
At Air Liquide, diversity is a source of dynamism, creativity and performance. An inclusive workplace with talents of different ages, nationalities and backgrounds is a key asset for the Group’s success. Thanks to the energy and inventiveness of our teams, Air Liquide continuously invents new practices and develops innovative solutions for customers and patients that improve performance. We can increase our positive impact on society by empowering everyone to grow and make a difference.
With more than 66,500 employees in 60 countries, 160 nationalities are currently represented within the Group. Air Liquide encourages each of its entities to develop initiatives that make their workforce more representative of their local communities. The Group is also committed to creating equal opportunity for all and promoting a culture of inclusion, and has also set ambitious gender equality goals. In 2024, 33% of managers and professionals were women.
We commit to increasing to 35% of women among our managers and professionals by 2025.
Common basis of care coverage for all employees
Present in 60 countries with diverse cultures, Air Liquide historically faces very different situations in care coverage for employees. As a socially responsible employer, the Group is committed to offering a common basis of care coverage for all employees.
We committed to providing 100% of our employees with common basis of care coverage by 2025, including life insurance, health coverage and a minimum of 14 weeks paid maternity leave. In 2024, one year in advance, we reached the objective of 100% of employees benefiting from this common basis of care coverage.

In 2024, 87% of employees had access to volunteering opportunities through this program.
