INDIVIDUAL SHAREHOLDERS THEIR VOICES, OUR COMMITMENTS
Our individual Shareholders are essential partners in our growth. Ambitious industrial projects, environmental impact, intergenerational transmission: their voices reflect their expectations, their convictions, and their attachment to Air Liquide. The privileged relationship that unites us fuels our ambition to keep building the Group's future together.
I see myself as an Air Liquide ambassador.
When my grandson was born, I immediately suggested to my daughter that we give him Air Liquide shares. I explained to him that he would own a small piece of the company. It's important to pass that on — not just a financial asset, but also a way of looking at the world. To me, Air Liquide is a company that respects its employees, respects the environment, and has a global reach, both in healthcare and industry. This strong and responsible foundation also supports the company’s long-term performance. Its global scale gives the Group the ability to reward its Shareholders through dividends, but above all through Free Share grants. I see myself as an Air Liquide ambassador: it's a French flagship company, and one I really trust.
Air Liquide was my very first stock, and that's no coincidence. I'm convinced I'm investing in a company that is solid, built for the long term, and is able to reinvent itself. Air Liquide is also a company that is aligned with my values, and one where I feel valued as a Shareholder.
I'm particularly interested in Air Liquide's activities in healthcare and hydrogen, as well as the Group's decarbonization efforts. As we face climate challenges, it's important to see major companies embracing values of social responsibility and investing in research and innovation to develop low-carbon solutions.
