Praxair Again Named a World's Most Ethical Company by Ethisphere Institute

In 2018, 135 companies across 23 countries and 57 industries were recognized as Most Ethical Companies by the Institute.

"There is no substitute for having a strong culture of integrity and ethics, both core values at Praxair."

The World's Most Ethical Company assessment is based upon the Ethisphere Institute's Ethics Quotient® (EQ) framework, which offers a quantitative way to assess a company's performance in an objective, consistent and standardized way.
