Linde has strengthened its commitment to sustainability having become the latest signatory to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative, said Gasworld.
By signing up to the initiative, Linde aims to align its strategy and activities with the UNGC’s Ten Principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. With 13,000 corporate participants and other stakeholders over 170 countries, the UNGC promotes two main objectives: ‘Mainstream the ten principles in business activities around the world’, and ‘Catalyse actions in support of broader UN goals.’
Broader goals include its Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the latter of which Linde have pledged to help advance. Stating that sustainability is an ‘integral part’ of what the company does every day, Tamara Brown, Vice President Sustainability, Linde, added that it has helped build an inclusive culture that values its people and respects human rights.
“Linde is already aligned with the Principles at the heart of the Compact and is proud to join this initiative, which aims to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges,” she said.
As per MRC, Linde has completed their efforts as part of implementing the Amur Gas Chemical Complex (AGCC) construction project. "Linde has completed its work within the AGCC project framework. We are dealing with its adaptation to new conditions together with partners from Sinopec," the Russian chemical giant said. Early in 2020, Linde made the contract for provision of pyrolysis services for AGCC. The Amur Gas Chemical Complex is the joint venture of Sibur (60%) and China’s Sinopec (40%) for polyethylene and polypropylene production. The capacity of the plant will be up to 2.7 mln tonnes of polymers annually.
