Our corporate culture builds on the vision, values and principles that guide the way we do business.
Our core values are anchored in the Linde Spirit, our corporate philosophy that was approved by the Linde AG Executive Board in 2007. All of our actions are guided by a strong commitment to corporate integrity. It is the fabric of our moral and ethical code, ensuring that we always act with honesty and fairness
Linde’s Code of Ethics captures this ethical framework, with guidelines that align with legal and internal company regulations.
Just like the Code of Ethics, the Linde Group’s Corporate Responsibility policy also builds on the values and principles set down in the Linde Spirit. It outlines our sense of responsibility to our stakeholders, such as shareholders, business partners, employees, society. It also addresses our commitment to protecting natural resources.
Our SHEQ (Safety, Health, Environment, Quality) policy frames and inspires the continuous worldwide improvement of our activities in the areas of environmental protection, occupational health, safety and product quality.
Together, these guidelines create an umbrella framework that guides the actions of all Linde employees and divisions across the globe. They are the cornerstones of our common identity.
Further key documents include our One Voice policy and our ethical/legal procurement guidelines as well as our guidelines governing donations and sponsoring.
