Linde Inclusion Integration Council
Operationalizing Inclusion across Linde
The Linde Inclusion Integration Council was formed in June 2019 to provide guidance and oversight on successfully operationalizing the Linde value of Inclusion within the newly formed Linde organization. The LIIC consists of influential business and human resource leaders from around our global regions. The goals and tactics of LIIC are to review, assess and offer guidance on the Inclusion Strategy, annual planning and accountability and tactics to attract, develop and retain the best global talent from our communities.

It gives us the best chance of unlocking the full potential of our people, to ensure that as many as possible can contribute, collaborate, and ultimately thrive in the workplace.

"My personal experience working on the Linde Inclusion Integration Council has been truly positive considering that I can contribute in strengthening the Diversity and Inclusion culture, also it provides me the opportunity to bring the best practices to the North Latam Region. On the other hand, it has been very satisfying working in a multicultural team in which we can share opinions, practices, thoughts, and perspectives regarding Diversity and Inclusion around the world which provide us the opportunity to create different proposals for the business. I consider the value of Inclusion as an essential pillar for our organization, this value leads us to have a better work environment."

“Our diversity and inclusion efforts will be successful, if a diverse workforce is understood as a value add and business driver for Linde and therefore actively fostered by all leaders in our organization. With our holistic approach and execution discipline we continue to further enhance the value of diversity and inclusion in our company. As a member of the Linde Inclusion Integration Council, I am proud to be an active part on this journey.”

“I am fully committed to further drive diversity and inclusion at Linde. As a member of the Linde Inclusion Integration Council, I foster pragmatic and measurable actions jointly with my colleagues. We aim to anchor these values firmly in our organization and to really enhance diversity on all levels of the company, especially at Linde Engineering. It is my experience that diversity of any kind (e.g. genders, international background) clearly correlates with better performance, more creative idea generation and an inspiring work environment.”
