Linde announced today it has been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) and the DJSI North America. Linde is the only company in the chemicals sector that has been included in the DJSI World for twenty consecutive years.

The DJSI World consists of the top 10% of the largest 2,500 stocks in the S&P Global Broad Market Index, based on their environmental, social and governance practices. Index constituents are determined by S&P Global based upon several factors, including the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) in which Linde scored in the 99th percentile for its overall ESG performance.

“Sustainability is a fundamental part of what we do every day,” said Sanjiv Lamba, Chief Executive Officer, Linde. “We are proud of our unparalleled track record of inclusion in the DJSI World, which is a testament to the hard work and dedication of Linde’s employees around the world.”
