The Linde Group has taken out appropriate insurance for potential losses and liability risks to ensure that the potential financial consequences of any risks which have arisen are eliminated or limited. The Group constantly ensures that its insurance is at the optimum level, based on the specific requirements of the divisions. Group insurance contracts are managed by our central service-provider, Commercium Versicherungsvermittlungs GmbH, subject to the approval of the Linde AG Executive Board.
