Governance and Oversight

The Environmental, Safety and Public Policy committee of our Board of Directors provides formal oversight for environmental performance and goals, including those related to climate change. Our vice president of Environmental, Health, Safety and Quality has direct operating responsibility for our climate change policy and GHG inventory programs.

Air Products’ Corporate Executive Committee, the most senior members of our management team, regularly conducts a comprehensive review of climate change risks and opportunities brought forward by our global Greenhouse Gases Strategy Team, which acts as a focal point for these issues. In addition, our Sustainability Council defines policies, programs and performance indicators for sustainability initiatives, including those related to climate change.

Air Products has formally added greenhouse gases and sustainability considerations to core processes such as product development, R&D, EH&S risk assessment and capital spending authorization.
