Air Liquide is committed to ambitious climate action. The company aims to achieve carbon neutrality across its entire value chain by 2050, with key interim milestones. These include a 33% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions by 2035, compared to a 2020 baseline. Additionally, Air Liquide targets a 30% reduction in carbon intensity (kg CO2/€ EBITDA) by 2025, against a 2015 baseline, for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. For Scope 3, the company commits to reducing absolute GHG emissions from the use of fossil fuel products sold by 60% by 2035, from a 2021 baseline, and a 43% reduction in overall Scope 3 emissions by 2030, also from a 2021 baseline. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, classified as consistent with reductions required to keep warming to well-below 2°C.
