2 July 2009

Technology company The Linde Group has become a member of the Bavarian Environmental Pact.

‘Sustainability is a key issue for us. It is therefore only logical that we should support this environmental initiative established by the Bavarian State Government and Bavarian industry,’ said Professor Dr Wolfgang Reitzle, CEO of Linde, when the membership certificate was presented to the group by the Bavarian State Premier Horst Seehofer. ‘Not only is Linde an exemplary company in terms of environmental protection. In addition, we are committed to pioneering technologies that significantly advance environmental protection in a huge variety of industry sectors.’

‘The Bavarian Environmental Pact is a superb example of successful cooperation between government and industry in the field of environmental protection,’ said Seehofer. ‘The initiative is based on the fundamental conviction that environmental protection is the joint responsibility of politicians, industry, society and the state.’

Linde’s activities in the field of environmental protection include the production of environmentally friendly energy carriers and fuels such as hydrogen and innovative technologies for solar cell manufacture – products and processes which are becoming increasingly important in the context of global warming. The member companies of the Bavarian Environmental Pact have committed themselves to achieving environmentally sustainable economic growth by saving resources and using ecofriendly technologies.

The Linde Group is a leading gases and engineering company with almost 52,000 employees working in around 100 countries worldwide.
