That’s testament to the passion and know-how of Air Products’ people. We apply our varied talents—business, science, engineering, finance, computing, production, and more—to serving the needs and solving the problems of our customers. Our commitment to excellent service helps our customers serve their customers and make them more sustainable. Tell me more.

With more than 22,000 employees in 50 countries, diversity and inclusion is a valued part of the culture of Air Products. The unique perspectives and experiences our employees bring to their work are essential to meeting our customers’ needs and bringing innovation to the wide range of markets we serve, from food processing to metals processing to transportation. That is why we’ve set a goal to become the most diverse industrial gas company in the world and why we foster a collaborative and respectful work environment where everyone can achieve their true potential. 

Diversity Goals

In October 2020, we announced a goal to achieve at least 20 percent minority representation from a 17 percent base level in our U.S. professional and managerial population by 2025. Having already reached this objective in 2021, Air Products set a new, ambitious goal to achieve 30 percent U.S. minority representation in these roles by 2025. This is yet another measurable, transparent step toward achieving our objective of becoming the most diverse industrial gas company in the world.  

Air Products has a broad operating scope and growing cultural landscape of more than 20,000 employees in over 50 countries. We are pleased with what we have accomplished and are excited to expand and grow our efforts. We will continue to report progress towards these goals and post future EEO-1 reports annually within sixty days following submittal of such report to the EEOC.

Inclusion Goals

Embed inclusive leadership practices to foster a respectful workplace where we routinely seek out diverse thinking and where people are empowered to confidently express their viewpoints.

Employees at all levels of the company contribute their time and skills to help build strong, healthy and stable communities.  Our corporate policy allows employees to volunteer during work hours with the support of their managers.

The secret to turning our diversity into a competitive advantage is continuing to cultivate an inclusive environment where everyone can make a difference. Work in this area takes many forms, including business and regionally focused D&I leadership teams, leadership and employee training, equitable policies, mentoring programs, networking and professional development, and vibrant employee resource groups.

A few examples:

The Inclusion Network brings employees from across our company together to work collaboratively to foster an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive and reach their full potential. Comprised of leaders from our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) D&I, Human Resources, and executive leadership, the Inclusion Network aims to help attract and retain talent, raise cultural awareness and competence, develop critical skills and competencies, build supportive networks and contribute to the company's overall diversity and inclusion objectives. Participants have access to a variety of programming and development opportunities, including workshops and networking events with colleagues and leaders from across the company.

Employee Resource Groups work collaboratively with the Inclusion Network and in partnership with the company to attract and retain diverse talent. The focus for these groups is creating a welcoming and supportive environment, enhancing professional and personal development, and supporting an inclusive workplace.

Our current groups include:

Our ERGs include:

• AERO – Asian Employee Resource Organization

Leadership Development Program for Diverse Talent provides talented women and minorities in the early stages of their leadership journey with the insights, support and exposure they need to thrive and reach their full potential. The program leverages the Lean In Learning Circle concept to provide a supportive environment for professional development, and offers the opportunity to build critical networks and gain visibility and exposure to senior leadership.

Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. When it comes to sustainability, companies need to be transparent about their impacts on people and the environment, what they’re doing to minimize those impacts, and how their business helps others do the same. The sustainability indexes you see here are external validation that we’re making progress and we’re sharing our results with the world.

Grow responsibly through sustainability driven opportunities that benefit our customers and our world. We help customers improve their sustainability performance through higher productivity, better quality products, reduced energy use, and lower emissions.

Conserve resources and reduce environmental footprints through cost-effective improvements. We set aggressive environmental performance goals for greenhouse gases, energy, water, and our fleet, and we measure progress to continually improve our own operations.

Care for our employees, customers and communities—protecting our license to operate and grow. We are building a culture of safety, simplicity, speed, and self-confidence. Our goal is zero accidents and zero incidents. We are committed to developing our people, supporting our communities, engaging suppliers and upholding our integrity.

As colleagues, we are driven to succeed by collaborating on work that is challenging and makes a difference.
