Air Products (NYSE:APD), a world-leading industrial gases company serving China for nearly 40 years, has been honored with two corporate social responsibility (CSR) awards at the 14th China Philanthropy Festival held in Beijing on January 9-10, 2025. This marks the company’s 10th consecutive year of recognition at this influential event, underscoring its unwavering commitment to sustainable development in the country. 

Air Products received the “Best Social Responsibility Brand Award 2024” for its relentless efforts to integrate social responsibility and sustainability into its business strategy in China.

"Sustainability is at the core of our business strategy and guides everything we do,” said Saw Choon Seong, China President at Air Products. “We are committed to sustainable development in China and have consistently demonstrated our role as a responsible corporate citizen over multiple five-year plans. Receiving CSR awards for a decade is a strong testament to the impact we have created and the dedication of our employees, especially our over 400 volunteers who passionately contribute to the local communities we serve. I would like to thank our employees for volunteering. We will continue our growth and sustainability journey with our customers and communities, making positive and lasting contributions to support China's Rural Revitalization Strategy and Beautiful China Initiative during the 14th and 15th Five-Year Plan periods and beyond."

Air Products has been actively driving CSR activities in China. The company’s LIN Ambassador Program, launched in China in 2014, inspires the next generation’s interest in science and innovation through safe and engaging LIN experiments.
