Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging
Individually Strong, Collectively Powerful
Air Products brings together talented people to develop innovative solutions for the challenges that face us, our customers, and our world. This is part of our higher purpose, as is creating a first-class company where people belong and matter and enjoy coming to work and are proud of what they do.
Our past and future success rely on promoting collaboration among people of different cultures and backgrounds. We are expanding the Air Products family globally by growing in new geographies. As we grow in new regions of the world, we bring with us our diversity and inclusion values to some areas where the societal roles of minorities and women are still evolving.

Message from Seifi Ghasemi:
We stand together against the disease of racism.
We stand together against the malady of hate.
We stand together in our shared humanity and equality.
We stand together on the fundamental right of every person to be treated with dignity and respect.
We stand together.
Raising the Bar for Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging
We will not rest on our success. After achieving a publicly-stated goal for U.S. minority representation in professional and managerial roles four years ahead of schedule, Air Products has moved the goal line.
In October 2020, we announced a goal to achieve at least 20 percent minority representation from a 17 percent base level in our U.S. professional and managerial population by 2025. Having already reached this objective in 2021, Air Products set a new, ambitious goal to achieve 30 percent U.S. minority representation in these roles by 2025. This is yet another measurable, transparent step toward achieving our objective of becoming the most diverse industrial gas company in the world.
Air Products has a broad operating scope and growing cultural landscape of more than 20,000 employees in over 50 countries. We are pleased with what we have accomplished and are excited to expand and grow our efforts.
Creating a Diverse Workforce
Our higher purpose goes beyond just delivering superior financial performance. Our higher purpose includes bringing people from all walks of life together to collaborate and innovate solutions to the world’s most significant energy and environmental sustainability challenges.
Valuing Diversity
Air Products will be the safest, most diverse, and most profitable industrial gas company in the world, providing excellent service to our customers.
Diversity Goals
Reflect the places we do business and fully utilize the diversity of the available talent pool. By 2025, Air Products aims to achieve at least 28 percent female representation in the professional and managerial population globally and 30 percent minority representation in the same population in the U.S.
Inclusion Goals
Embed inclusive leadership practices to foster a respectful workplace where we routinely seek out diverse thinking and where people are empowered to confidently express their viewpoints.
Cultivating an Inclusive Culture
"We need to create an atmosphere of respect for everybody, no matter where they come from. If you hire people who look like you, talk like you, and think like you, how do you find the unique perspective? How do you challenge the status quo if everyone on the team sees the world the same?"
- Seifi Ghasemi, Chairman, President and CEO
