Our service to our Shareholders is embodied by personalized support, continuous availability and proximity.
At Air Liquide, nurturing a sense of service means providing you with simple and easy-to-use tools that meet your needs, such as the online Shareholder Portal and the Shareholder’s Factsheets. The latter provide answers to your frequently asked questions regarding shareholding options, the loyalty bonus, dividends, tax returns and more. The online Shareholder Portal, for its part, allows you to access your portfolio and remotely vote on the resolutions submitted at the Annual General Meeting. And, if you are a direct Shareholder of Air Liquide (with pure registered shares), you can buy and sell shares online(1) at any moment. Finally, we keep you up-to-date with Group and shareholder news all year long through our emails, monthly newsletter, and the Shareholders section on the airliquide.com website.
We are continuing to modernize our dialogue with Shareholders and expand our current content with new communication formats such as webinars, podcasts and videos. These serve to inform and guide you as best as possible on the management of your portfolio and understanding the Group’s strategy.
Making shareholding accessible to everyone is a key focus for Air Liquide, in particular among the younger generation. To raise awareness among students of the important role of shareholding and responsible portfolio management, the Group partners with the NextWise Challenge, which provides students with an immersive experience simulating the daily lives of investors and management companies. Following the success of the first edition with Paris Dauphine University, the second edition of the Challenge has been opened up to several other universities and specialized higher education institutions.
