Integrated Annual Report 2024

The Executive Committee steers the strategy

The Executive Committee steers the strategy

Composition as of March 15, 2025

The Executive Committee implements the strategic orientations provided by the Board of Directors, and oversees Air Liquide’s operations and business development. It conducts strategic reviews and steers the Group’s financial and extra-financial performance. In 2024, it launched a transformation program to enhance the Group’s agility and performance. This included a simplification of the internal organization to speed up decision-making and leverage the company’s size more effectively by turning it into a competitive advantage. The composition of the Executive Committee has thus changed to better reflect the Group’s ambitions and support this transformation.
