Global industrial gases and engineering company Linde reduced its absolute GHG emissions by 6.2% compared to its 2021 baseline, which is in line with its 2035 emissions reduction target. 

The reduction was achieved through a range of actions globally, including sourcing 47% of its total electricity consumption from low-carbon sources.

As published in its 2024 Sustainable Development Report, Linde helped its customers avoid more than 96 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2024 — more than double the emissions the company generated from its own operations. 

Linde plans to invest over $3 billion in internal decarbonization initiatives, achieve a 35% absolute reduction of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2035 and 35% GHG intensity improvement versus EBITDA, and reach more than two times low-carbon power sourcing, primarily from active renewable electricity.

“Sustainability is embedded in everything Linde does, and our pragmatic approach continues to deliver exceptional results while helping our customers reduce their emissions,” said Erin Catapano, Vice President Sustainability, Linde, in a statement. “We will continue to develop innovative solutions which deliver meaningful value to our stakeholders while advancing progress toward a more resilient and sustainable future.”
