Linde Awarded Leadership Score by CDP for Climate Change and Water Security

Woking, UK, April 29, 2024 - Linde (Nasdaq: LIN) announced today that it has
been recognized by CDP for its approach to addressing both water security
and climate change, achieving a Leadership score in both categories.

CDP is a global non-profit organization that runs a global environmental
disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states and regions. Each
year, it evaluates companies based on current and emerging best practices
for disclosure, awareness and management of environmental risks. CDP scored
Linde at the Leadership level for its 2023 disclosure, with the company
achieving 'A-' for both water security and climate change. More than 23,000
organizations disclosed via CDP in 2023.

"Our company has been engaged in CDP disclosure for more than a decade,"
said Tamara Brown, Vice President Sustainability, Linde. "We are proud to
see this validation of Linde's environmental commitment. Every day, we
strive to sustain and protect our planet by achieving our targets and
helping our customers improve their environmental footprint."
