Safety, Ethics, and Long-Term Performance have always been and will remain the foundation of our success.

Care about our customers, patients and your collegues is about embedding customer centricity and respectful teamwork in our environment.
Adapt is first about being aware of what is changing around us and then developing our ability to adapt, and promoting a continuous improvement mindset.

Inclusion & Diversity
Diversity is at the core of Air Liquide’s business. Our solutions serve a huge range of customers in activities from aeronautics to home healthcare, from chemicals to food processing, electronics and beyond. To be the leader in our industry requires Air Liquide to reflect the diversity we see in our customers and patients.
As Chairman of the European Round Table for Industrials (ERT), Benoît Potier signed the#EmbraceDifferencepledge along with 50 other ERT CEOs, and committed to creating the right environment and conditions for all employees to reach their full potential.
“Inclusion enables us to leverage our differences, and contributes to creating sustainable and innovative solutions to society's major challenges.

- The gender compensation gap: 37/40
- The gender gap in the allocation of individual pay rises: 20/20
- The gender gap in the distribution of promotions: 15/15
- The number of female employees who receive a pay rise upon their return from maternity leave: 15/15

The result of the index is the fruit of a consistent policy in terms of compensation. It encourages us to continue and increase our policy in terms of salary equity. Air Liquide's salary policy is based on three criteria: performance, responsibilities in the position held and external compensation markets. It is not based on gender.
Encourage employee engagement in local initiatives
We offer each of our employees the opportunity to devote time to a project or a mission supporting the Group’s ESG objectives.
Our objective is to empower our employees to engage in volunteering activities for their local communities. An example is the"Read My Mind"program. Charlotte Howe from Air Liquide UK explains:"We launched the ‘"Read My Mind" program at the end of 2017. This program is about raising awareness of mental health issues among our people and our local communities and removing the stigma around it. We encouraged all of our employees to volunteer and become ambassadors to support colleagues who may be suffering from mental health issues. We currently have 33 trained Mental Health Ambassadors across all of our Midland sites. We proactively run activities and events around Mental health awareness week."
