Integrated Annual Report 2024

Our advances

I am an engineer & I belong here at Air Liquide.

My time in the company has been rewarding, with great opportunities for career growth. I encourage every woman at Air Liquide to go after what they want, no matter the obstacles. There’s so much strength, courage, and talent within us. Take chances and surprise yourself, as you’ll never know what you can achieve until you try. Embrace your strengths and confidently pursue your goals.

Care coverage for all employees

With a presence in 60 countries, Air Liquide has to deal with very different care coverage situations for its employees. To offer all employees the same conditions, beyond local legislation, the Group pledged to provide a common basis of care coverage for all employees by 2025, including life insurance, health coverage and a minimum of 14 weeks paid maternity leave. In 2023, 78% of teams benefited from a common basis of care coverage, rising to 100% in 2024. In some regions, this offer has had a significant impact. In the United States, Germany, Latin America or Indonesia, for example, where welfare benefits vary widely, offering the same coverage to everyone, regardless of their role, makes Air Liquide a more attractive employer.

Our commitment extends beyond our walls

Through its Foundation, Air Liquide has supported for over 15 years projects in fundamental research respiratory diseases, solidarity and job integration, particularly in technical fields. Harnessing the Group’s strengths – particularly its expertise, teams, and local presence – the Foundation is tasked with taking on social challenges in which it has clear legitimacy and can have a socially beneficial impact. Individually, Group employees may volunteer to dedicate a portion of their working hours to various social or societal projects via the Citizen at Work program, set up in 2022. As of today, 87% of our employees have access to volunteering opportunities thanks to this initiative.
