Air Products has recently been named 2013 Corporate Citizen Role Model and received the Green Chemical Award from China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation (CPCIF) in recognition of its outstanding performance in sustainability.
CPCIF is a non-profit organisation with membership covering more than 300 major companies, institutions and associations in China’s petrochemical industry. Aimed at increasing the awareness of corporate social responsibility and driving the sustainable development of the petrochemical industry, the federation held the Beautiful Chemical campaign earlier last year and led the recent election of Corporate Citizen Role Model and associated awards by professional evaluations of voluntary participating companies.
Fifty-five state-owned, private and foreign-invested companies and 14 entrepreneurs were honored as role models and awarded in one of the five categories: Green Chemical, Innovation, Responsible Care, Social Responsibility and Outstanding Entrepreneur. The judging panel was comprised of more than 20 industry experts, academicians and scholars who judged based on criteria including corporate governance, employee rights and benefits, environmental protection, safety, innovation, public communications and corporate social responsibility. Air Products won the Green Chemical Award for its sustained contribution to environmental protection, clean energy technology promotion and social responsibility.
A responsible corporate citizen with a long-standing commitment to sustainability, Air Products has been serving the China market for over 25 years with its leading-edge technologies and solutions to help customers become more productive, energy efficient and sustainable.
