FrameworkOur corporate culture builds on the vision, values and principles that guide the way we do business.

The Linde Group’s vision is to be the world’s leading global gases and engineering group - admired for our people, who create innovative solutions that make a difference to the world. This vision defines who we are and what we do, guiding us as we reach our goals.

Our core values are anchored in the Linde Spirit, our corporate philosophy. 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 ethical framework is captured in our Code of Ethics with guidelines that align with legal and internal company policies.

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 business partners, employees and society. It also addresses our commitment to protecting natural resources.

Our HSE (Health, Safety, Environment) and Quality policies frame and inspires the continuous 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.
