Sustainability is at the core of our Higher Purpose to bring people together to collaborate and innovate solutions to the world’s most significant energy and environmental sustainability challenges. We live our Higher Purpose through the two pillars of our business strategy with sustainability as the foundation: our core industrial gases business and our blue and green hydrogen business. We are in the fortunate position of being able to do good for the planet, while at the same time seeking returns for our shareholders.
During the past year, we have strengthened our sustainability goals for the future, announced impressive capital spending targets for energy transition projects, and continued work on several world-scale, first-mover clean energy projects focused on decarbonizing heavy-duty transportation and industrial sectors.
Our sustainability goals reflect our aspirations to enable and accelerate the global energy transition and achieve our overarching Company goal to be the safest, most diverse and most profitable industrial gas company in the world, providing excellent service to our customers. Fundamentally, it is our people who are the real enablers of a cleaner future, working alongside our customers to help solve pressing energy and environmental challenges.
To manage sustainability and make progress towards our goals, we use a Sustainability Implementation Framework comprised of three areas — Grow, Conserve and Care. Our sustainability initiatives and programs are defined in line with these three areas, and our sustainability goals are lined up accordingly.
