After two years of remote attendance, about 4,000 of our Shareholders gathered in‑person and online for the 2022 Annual General Meeting, held on May 4 at the Palais des Congrès in Paris. We were delighted to see you all again at this key moment for Shareholder democracy, and to have the chance to break down Air Liquide’s new strategic plan, announced in March, together.
Proximity, dialogue, transparency: These three words represented the core values of Air Liquide’s Annual General Meeting. This year, proximity was particularly appreciated and you flocked to the Palais des Congrès for our General Meeting. More than 1,500 Shareholders caught up on the recording afterward, available in French, English and sign language. Dialogue, too, was at the heart of this gathering. Shareholders had the opportunity to ask questions, as well as to vote on the 29 motions on the agenda. Voting was possible prior to the Annual General Meeting, online or by mail, or on the day, using tablets provided for that purpose.
Outside of the plenary session, there was also an opportunity to talk with more than 20 experts from the Shareholder Services Department on five big topics: proximity, free shares attribution, passing on shares, tax conditions and the shareholding options. The Air Liquide Foundation was also present at a special stand where it set out its missions, detailing the exceptional work it does and the projects it supports to promote essential research and professional integration.
