Linde Receives 'A' For Water Stewardship from CDP

GUILFORD, UK / ACCESSWIRE / December 15, 2021 / Linde (NYSE:LIN)(FWB:LIN) today announced that it has been awarded an 'A' from CDP for its approach to tackling water security. It is one of only a select group of global companies to achieve the top score.

CDP is a global environmental non-profit organization that works with investors representing over $110 trillion in assets to measure companies' risks and opportunities on climate change, water security and deforestation. It uses a detailed methodology to assess nearly 12,000 companies, allocating a score of 'A' to 'D-'. Each company's score is based on comprehensive analysis of its disclosure, awareness and management of environmental risks alongside evidence of best practice.
