Linde has achieved a “leadership” score for its approach to both water security and climate change.
The industrial gas giant was awarded recognition by CDP, a global non-profit organisation that annually evaluates companies based on current and emerging best practices for disclosure, awareness, and management of environmental risks.
CDP scored Linde at the leadership level for its 2023 disclosure, with the company achieving ‘A-’ for both water security and climate change. More than 23,000 organisations disclosed via CDP in 2023.
Tamara Brown, Vice-President of Sustainability at Linde, said, “We are proud to see this validation of Linde’s environmental commitment. Every day, we strive to sustain and protect our planet by achieving our targets and helping our customers improve their environmental footprint.”
Earlier this month, Linde was also recognised as one of the world’s most sustainable companies in S&P Global’s Sustainability Yearbook 2024 and scored higher than any other industrial gas company.
Published annually, the Sustainability Yearbook recognises some of the world’s largest companies for sustainable business practices. Based on S&P Global’s corporate sustainability assessment, the yearbook comprises companies scoring in the top 15% of their industry.

Talks are well underway in preparation for the next major international meeting on climate change, 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28), scheduled to begin Nov. 30 in the United Arab Emirates.
Much like last year’s COP27, finances — specifically, aid to developing nations — will be at the center of conference deliberations.
The conference faces an even greater sense of urgency brought on by the Sept. 8, 2023, release of the first global stocktake, which calls for accelerated action to meet the goals set in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement (COP21).
