This is the body that makes decisions regarding Linde's five action items.
The cornerstones of our corporate responsibility strategy are defined by the Corporate Responsibility Council, a body that was founded in 2004.
The Council’s duty involves making decisions on the five following action items:
employees, SHEQ (Safety, Health, Environment, Quality), corporate citizenship, capital markets as well as ethics and compliance.
The Corporate Responsibility Council creates a roadmap detailing the goals for the five action items. These objectives align with our Corporate Responsibility policy.
The decisions reached by the Council are binding for the entire organisation.
The Corporate Responsibility department is responsible for implementing the Council’s decisions. This central function is anchored within the umbrella Corporate Communication & Investor Relations department at company headquarters.
The Council membership includes Professor Wolfgang Reitzle, Chief Executive Officer of Linde AG, and Dr Aldo Belloni, Member of the Executive Board, together with managers responsible for the following corporate functions:
Depending on the area in question, the Council must also work very closely with other departments such as Innovation Management or Corporate Strategy.
