Strategic plan

ADVANCE,
the 2025 strategic plan

ADVANCE, Air Liquide’s new strategic plan for 2025, is a milestone in the company’s history. It places sustainable development at the heart of the Group’s strategy, firmly setting Air Liquide on course for global performance by combining financial and extra-financial performance. ADVANCE is structured around four priorities and integrates the Group’s Sustainable Development objectives.

Delivering strong financial performance

Air Liquide is taking action today while preparing the future. The Group is rising up to an ambitious challenge: continuing its growth dynamic and improving profitability all while meeting its commitments to reduce CO2 emissions and investing in the markets of the future.

Decarbonizing the planet

The Group is affirming its leading role in the decarbonization of industry and the dawn of a low-carbon society in which hydrogen is today playing a decisive role. It is committed to decarbonizing its own operations while helping customers to do the same. Air Liquide plans to reach carbon neutrality by 2050, with the intermediate step of beginning to reduce its CO2 emissions around 2025.
