Corporate citizenship is an important facet of our identity at Linde. We take great care to ensure that our communal activities underpin the strategic areas we wish to promote – education, science and research. Against this background, we get involved in projects that are closely linked to our core business, and play an active role in the societies where Linde people live and work around the globe. We achieve this by collaborating with numerous scientific institutions and schools, as well as through our foundations, awards and grants. In addition, we actively support individual projects selected for their specific contribution to the local community.

These projects not only embody the traditional values advocated by company founder Carl von Linde, they also reflect our commitment to continuing the majority of social programmes initiated by BOC.

Also under our corporate citizenship umbrella, we are aware of how the at times ground-breaking inventions of Linde have helped to advance society in the course of the Group’s 130-year history. These close ties help explain why we are so keen to actively share our corporate heritage with the general public.
