Throughout 2020 and continuing at this writing, the world has faced unparalleled challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic. I want to thank the talented, committed and dedicated team at Air Products for working tirelessly to safely operate our 750+ production facilities, supply customers with essential industrial gases, and execute global megaprojects that are enabling a transition to a cleaner energy future.

Several of the goals are continuations of our 2020 goals, while others are new commitments reflective of our sustainable growth strategy.

At Air Products, Sustainability is a core value; it’s at the heart of what we have done as a business for 80 years.

Ultimately, we are driven by an important ambition: to work together and innovate solutions to the world’s energy and environmental challenges.
