Air Liquide reports comprehensive Scope 1 and 2 emissions data with 11% absolute reduction since 2020, but total footprint fell only 2.7% as upstream Scope 3 emissions surged 67%. No quantified mid-term Scope 3 target exists. The company sits at 40% low-carbon electricity, chairs climate committees at industry groups actively opposing climate policy, and excludes hostile trade associations from disclosure.
