Safety objective: zero accidents
Safety remains a top priority for Air Liquide’s management and employees. Continuously and durably improving the health and safety in the workplace of its employees and subcontractors is the first Air Liquide’s priority challenges, in each region, in each entity.
The lost-time accident frequency rate of Air Liquide employees continued to improve and stood at 1.2 at the end of 2019, a 3.9% improvement compared to 2018. This is the lowest frequency rate the Group has achieved in more than 20 years.
Climate & Air quality
As part of its global approach to climate, Air Liquide sets the most ambitious objectives of its sector: reducing its carbon intensity (in CO2 equivalent/euro of operating income recurring before depreciation and amortization at 2015 exchange rate and excluding IFRS16 for greenhouse emissions scope 1 and 2) by 30% by 2025, based on 2015 emissions.

Creating innovative and earth-friendly molecules
Creating innovative and earth-friendly molecules such as enScribe™
enScribe™, a family of advanced etching material that facilitates the manufacturing of complex memory structures, while greatly reducing the environmental impact. When a major semiconductor customer adopts one of these molecules as a replacement to the baseline product, it has the potential to reduce the entire sector’s carbon emissions by up to 1%.
Hydrogen, a clean energy
Hydrogen is one of the solutions that offer a response to the challenges of clean transportation: reducing greenhouse gases, pollution in our cities, and dependency on oil-based fuels. Used in the fuel cell, hydrogen combines with oxygen from the air to produce electricity, with water as the only by-product. Hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources. Hydrogen thus has great potential to provide clean energy and be an alternative to fossil fuels. Hydrogen energy is a fast-growing field of which the Group masters the entire industrial chain (from production and storage to distribution and uses for the end-user) and is also actively involved in setting up this industry.
Electronics fabs consume increasing quantities of pure Hydrogen. Air Liquide has the technologies to produce such pure hydrogen using renewable energy.
