Linde Recognized as a Leader in Diversity & Inclusion by DiversityInc

GUILDFORD, United Kingdom–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Linde (NYSE:LIN; FWB:LIN) announced today that its subsidiary, Praxair,
Inc., has been named a 2019
DiversityInc Noteworthy Company
for the fourth consecutive year.
Noteworthy companies are selected based on a survey that addresses four
key areas of diversity management: Talent Pipeline, Talent Development,
Leadership Accountability and Supplier Diversity.

The survey seeks to assess initiatives to hire, retain and develop
women, minorities, people with disabilities, LGBT and veterans. This
year’s survey included questions that connect talent programs and
workplace practices to desired talent results. The analysis also
addressed the intersectionality of race by analyzing women and men
representation of each race/ethnicity separately, rather than combined.

We are proud to again be recognized by DiversityInc for our strong
diversity and inclusion performance,” said Chief Diversity Officer
Vanessa Abrahams-John. “Embracing diversity and being an inclusive
company enables us to build the skill sets and capabilities we need to
lead in innovation and operational excellence.”
