ADVANCE - Linking Growth and Sustainable Future Inseparably

“ADVANCE” is Air Liquide’s strategic plan for 2025 which places sustainable development at the heart and firmly sets it on course for combining financial and extra-financial performance.

Building the future with ADVANCE means delivering strong financial performance which prepares the future, acting as a leader in industry decarbonization, promoting progress through technological innovation and acting for all. With ADVANCE, ALFE aims to make a real difference while pursuing growth.

Training and Rotation Programs to Pave Career Path

Air Liquide’s stated objective is to become a “learning organization” in which employees' development is its top priority. Also, through different professional fields and diverse domestic and international rotation programs, ALFE assists each employee to create an individual career path. In 2021, ALFE achieved 91% of training coverage & 38.2 training hours; both significantly exceeded the Group’s average.

Listen to the Voices of Employees

Since 2019, ALFE has been listening to the Voice of Employees through MyVoice employee satisfaction survey and roadshows. In 2022, 94% of all employees participated in the survey, and 876 insightful comments were received. Based on those comments, ALFE has carried out close-the-loop workshops with concrete actions to further strengthen its efforts in Employee eXperience.

Safeguard Employees' Physical & Mental Health

ALFE cares for its employees. ALFE launched the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) in 2020 to provide employees and their family members a professional and confidential counseling service. Up to April of 2022, 200+ times of EAP services were applied. In addition, biweekly face-to-face consultancy Nursing Service at sites is available to look after employees’ occupational safety & health. During the severe COVID alert in 2021, ALFE offered additional 7 days full-paid leave for those who have family needs and unlimited work-from-home policy for supporting function employees.

Walk into a Healthy Lifestyle

In the context of COVID-19, physical activities are limited. In order to encourage employees to exercise more, Sports Month, a one-month online walking campaign, was organized in 2020 and 2021. A total of 144 million steps were collected from 600+ participants which are equivalent to more than 60 laps of walking distance around the island.

Sustainability Efforts for a Better Planet

ALFE has been organizing its annual “Sustainability Month” since 2020. Four week-long activities are held covering various topics about sustainability to advance the employees’ knowledge, propose solutions and take effective action for the planet. Also, nearly 6 tons of garbage were collected during ALFE’s annual beach-cleaning activities since 2017. In 2022, ALFE further adopted a beach in New Taipei City to extend its efforts and impacts in environment protection.

Through the above actions, ALFE not only focuses on developing local employees, enhances Employee eXperience, but also protects the environment, and gives back to society.
