Safety, Health, Environment and Quality (SHEQ)

Effective management of Safety, Health, Environment and Quality (SHEQ) is a key priority for Linde and is embedded in our corporate culture. We have a SHEQ goal : ‘At Linde we are driven to ensure no harm comes from our actions to people, the environment or the communities in which we operate.’ This goal guides our actions in all issues relating to SHEQ and inspires us to make the right decisions, take the appropriate measures and behave in a responsible manner. It ensures that at Linde, people always come first.
