The Group Diversity Vison
Diversity is extremely important to The Linde Group.
We respect and value the differences between human beings and recognise that a diverse workplace is fundamental in creating a culture of success and innovation. A diverse workforce generates new ideas and fresh thinking, and is essential if we are to compete effectively in diverse markets.
Everyone is different. Teams that combine different experiences, perspectives and insights produce new ideas and are more creative. It can be uncomfortable for us to confront our preconceptions or to have to have accepted truths challenged, but it is even harder for people with the same outlook and background to challenge the status quo and find better ways of doing things.
We employ women and men from many nations, cultures and backgrounds and the Group attaches great importance to retaining the local workforce in the various countries in which we operate. We value each individual for the unique skills, abilities and experiences they bring to work every day.
Diversity is good for business as well as offering the opportunity for everyone to achieve their full potential. It also helps us attract the best future employees, whoever and wherever they may be.
Through our Code of Conduct , which is in place throughout the organisation, we seek to guarantee our employees genuinely equal opportunities. Individual diversity enriches both our cooperation and the Linde corporate culture.
