Ethics & complianceIntegrity is one of our four guiding principles. It is the fabric of our moral and ethical code, ensuring that we always at with honesty and fairness.

The Linde Group’s Code of Ethics sets out guidelines to ensure we act in accordance with legal and internal Group regulations. The code applies to all employees and helps weave integrity into our day-to-day behaviour. Every employee must be familiar with and adhere to the standards and legal regulations that apply to his or her area of work.

Our ethical/legal procurement guidelines supplement the Linde Code of Ethics. These guidelines do not serve as a substitute for any legislation, but to provide additional, concrete bearings for our conduct towards our business partners and, in turn, formulate our expectations of them in relation to procurement.

Environmental protection, product safety and social concerns are important considerations for both our own and our partners’ sides of the procurement process.
