Regulatory News:
For the second time this year, Air Liquide (Paris:AI) has
been awarded an “A” from the CDP, recognizing this time its
reporting on actions for sustainable water management. With this
score, which complements the one received for its climate action,
Air Liquide enters the narrow circle of companies that have
obtained a double "A" from the CDP, a non-profit organization that
evaluates companies on their environmental action.
Air Liquide has been named on the CDP “A-List” as one of the
world’s best-performing companies for sustainable water
management. At the beginning of the year, the company also
scored an “A” for its climate action. This double “A”
recognizes a commitment to the environment, including an important
milestone with the announcement of the most ambitious Climate
objectives in its sector.
This latest recognition is also the result of a transparency
policy that has been implemented by Air Liquide for several years.
Its Sustainability approach is embedded in the company’s strategy
and the Group’s extra-financial information is published in most of
its communication material.
In 2019, more than 8,400 companies made data about their
environmental impacts available to CDP (with a focus on climate,
water and forests) for independent assessment purposes. Of
those companies, only 38 scored a triple or double “A”, among
which 3 French companies, including Air Liquide.
The yearly process of extra-financial rating and disclosure of
data through the CDP is recognized as a reference in terms of
corporate environmental transparency. Air Liquide’s responses to
the 2019 CDP questionnaire are freely available on the CDP
website.
David Meneses, Air Liquide’s Vice President,
Sustainability, said: “We are proud to have received two “A”
from the CDP distinguishing our actions for climate and sustainable
water management. Through these scores, the CDP recognizes Air
Liquide’s long-established strategy of supporting sustainable
growth. Our Climate objectives are the most ambitious in our
sector, and we are strongly committed to fight climate
change.”
