Linde know-how is most valuable when made available to all employees who can make productive use of this asset. Access to relevant information is therefore expressly granted on all levels of the hierarchy.
Each of our business segments maintains intranet-based knowledge databases with comprehensive information on the market and our competitors. Depending on the data’s degree of specialization, the network links are designed to be system-wide or segment-wide. Another example of our activities: the “R & D Globe” system instituted at Linde Gas in 2005 made it possible to link our worldwide research activities on the intranet and to provide broad access to product information.The informal exchange of knowledge is also furthered by way of the continuing education courses offered by Linde University. By strategically interfacing our various business segments, we facilitate intersegment dialog and promote the sharing of best-practice solutions.
