The 'A' rating by MSCI was based on Air Products' improvements in its carbon management strategy, including carbon capture efforts, its announced goal to reach net-zero carbon emissions from operations by 2050, and other sustainability initiatives. In its review, MSCI rated Air Products an ESG leader in its industry in two categories: clean tech, and safety and health.
"Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at Air Products. We believe we have a critical role to play in addressing the significant sustainability and environmental challenges facing our world, and that is why Air Products has committed to invest $15 billion in first-mover, world-scale clean energy projects to accelerate the energy transition," said Seifi Ghasemi, Air Products' Chairman, President and CEO. "We are pleased with this rating from MSCI and will continue to work hard every day to provide excellent service to our customers and innovate solutions while generating a cleaner future."
MSCI ESG Ratings measure a company's management of financially relevant ESG risks and opportunities. MSCI uses a rules-based methodology to identify industry leaders and laggards according to their exposure to ESG risks and how well a company manages those risks relative to peers.
The MSCI rating is the latest recognition for Air Products' ESG efforts. Earlier this year, Air Products was again included on Barron's 100 Most Sustainable Companies List. Recently, Air Products was listed in S&P Global's Sustainability Yearbook for 2024 for the 12th time. Air Products also was recognized by Newsweek as one of America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity in 2024.
