Abstract

All Air Products suppliers are expected to abide by and conform to Air Products’ Code of Conduct in their business dealings with it, and to support sustainability through the principles outlined in Air Products’ Sustainability Expectations of Suppliers, which include environmental, human rights and community considerations. In order to promote sustainability across its supply chain Air Products took action to:

  • evaluate suppliers
  • promote supplier diversity
  • protect human rights

What are the material issues the company has identified?

In its 2020 Sustainability Report Air Products identified a range of material issues, such as economic performance, energy and climate, responsible consumption and production, water conservation. Among these, promoting sustainability across its supply chain stands out as a key material issue for Air Products.

Stakeholder engagement in accordance with the GRI Standards

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) defines the Principle of Stakeholder Inclusiveness when identifying material issues (or a company’s most important impacts) as follows:

“The reporting organization shall identify its stakeholders, and explain how it has responded to their reasonable expectations and interests.”

Stakeholders must be consulted in the process of identifying a company’s most important impacts and their reasonable expectations and interests must be taken into account. This is an important cornerstone for CSR / sustainability reporting done responsibly.

Key stakeholder groups Air Products engages with:

Investors
Communities

Government regulators

How stakeholder engagement was made to identify material issues

To identify and prioritise material topics Air Products interviewed and surveyed key stakeholders to understand their sustainability priorities and concerns.

What actions were taken by Air Products to promote sustainability across its supply chain?

In its 2020 Sustainability Report Air Products reports that it took the following actions for promoting sustainability across its supply chain:

  • Evaluating suppliers
  • Air Products’ procurement teams have supplier qualification processes in place to make sure Air Products receives the quality supplies and services it needs. In 2019, Air Products conducted onsite evaluations of new suppliers as part of the qualification process. If noncompliance is identified through Air Products’ ongoing monitoring, Air Products works with the supplier to address the issue.
  • Promoting supplier diversity
  • It is Air Products’ policy and practice to provide maximum practical opportunities to diverse suppliers. In 2019, approximately 20% of Air Products’ procurement in the U.S. was from diverse suppliers. These include small, socially and economically disadvantaged, and other minority-owned and women-owned U.S. businesses that can provide competitive sources of materials and services. Air Products offers advice and guidance to assist minority business firms in building relationships and becoming successful suppliers to it.
  • Protecting human rights
  • Air Products completes annual human rights assessments for its operations and supply chains. From a supply chain perspective, Air Products examines human rights risks relative to procurement spend and supplier location using country-specific risk information from third parties. Most of Air Products’ suppliers are in heavy industries that are not as susceptible to human rights violations as other industries. However, to promote human rights in its supply chains, Air Products added human rights clauses to its standard terms and conditions for procurement. No significant risks were identified through its assessment, and Air Products was not aware of any allegations of violations of human rights in its supply chain in 2019. Additionally, each year Air Products reports its progress in identifying Conflict Minerals in its supply chain to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and posts its Conflict Minerals report on its website.

  • Providing anti-bribery and anti-corruption training
  • Depending on the position they hold and their location, employees receive Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)/Anti-bribery training.

Both of these training sessions are available in 16 languages.
