Creating a Diverse Workforce

We will not rest on our success. After achieving a publicly-stated goal for U.S. minority representation in professional and managerial roles four years ahead of schedule, Air Products has moved the goal line.

In October 2020, we announced a goal to achieve at least 20 percent minority representation from a 17 percent base level in our U.S. professional and managerial population by 2025. Having already reached this objective in 2021, Air Products set a new, ambitious goal to achieve 30 percent U.S. minority representation in these roles by 2025. This is yet another measurable, transparent step toward achieving our objective of becoming the most diverse industrial gas company in the world.

Air Products has a broad operating scope and growing cultural landscape of more than 20,000 employees in over 50 countries. We are pleased with what we have accomplished and are excited to expand and grow our efforts. We will continue to report progress towards these goals and post future EEO-1 reports annually within sixty days following submittal of such report to the EEOC.
