Sustainability

At Messer, the world’s largest privately owned industrial gases specialist, we are fully aware of our responsibility for sustainability, and we actively do our part to help protect our planet, value people, and promote best business practices. Sustainability is at the core of our business strategy, and we are taking concrete actions in our day-to-day operations to make progress and create value for Messer and our customers. Messer has released a Corporate Sustainability Commitment, providing a comprehensive overview of our strategies and key initiatives.

When your company slogan is “Gases for Life,” you must take health, safety, and environmental concerns seriously — and we do. Health, safety, and environmental protection are foundational principles of our business. They are at the core of everything we do, and our decision-making, actions, and behaviors consistently reflect these values 100% of the time. Messer complies with all applicable requirements set by regulatory authorities, our customers, and our own strict quality standards. We are committed to protecting the well-being of people, society, and the environment — and to preventing harm — while continuously enhancing the safety performance of our operations.

At Messer, sustainability is at the heart of our strategy and our responsibility. Since 2014, Messer has published a sustainability report on a voluntary basis, reaffirming each year how essential sustainable development is to our company, to our people, and to society at large. We recognize our impact on both people and the environment and are committed to acting responsibly in everything we do. Messer is committed to upholding robust compliance policies as well as a Code of Conduct and expects all business partners to comply with these standards. At the same time, we continue to advance initiatives that reduce our impact on the environment, safeguard human rights, and foster a culture where all of us accept, respect and value the individual personalities and truly welcome diverse ideas and perspectives. Our commitment to Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles remains strong. These principles guide us as we create long-term value and contribute to meeting the important requirements of our time thanks to “Gases for Life” and innovative gas solutions.
