The Executive Board at Linde instituted a central Corporate Responsibility unit. Its mission entails identifying potential for action in the four dimensions of environment, human resources, society, and capital markets. It is further charged with setting relevant targets and designing measures that will produce ongoing and verifiable improvements in our performance – both in these four dimensions
and within the enterprise as a whole. The Corporate Responsibility unit is located within the Public Affairs department and reports to the Corporate Responsibility (CR) Council. This body is responsible for making strategic decisions, determining and adopting targets, and approving concrete measures for their implementation.
