Respiratory health
The Air Liquide Foundation is committed to preserving everyone’s respiratory health. In a systemic approach, the Foundation supports :
• Awareness and early detection initiatives1;
• Scientific partners conducting fundamental research projects 1;
• Access to medical oxygen in Low - and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC).
Raising awareness and early detection of respiratory diseases
The Foundation supports awareness and early detection of respiratory diseases. We aim to support targeted prevention initiatives, such as outreach programs ("mobile screening units"), training for local frontline professionals (mini-spirometry), and social marketing campaigns.
Fundamental research needs pour support
A prerequisite to breakthrough innovation, basic research needs support.
The Air Liquide Foundation draw on Air Liquide’s expertise of the Group's employees, who are the link between the research teams and the Foundation in selecting and monitoring projects.
We finance innovative projects with high impact potential, lasting 3 to 5 years in the European Economic Area.
Testimonial
"The support of the Air Liquide Foundation are additional means on a risk-taking issue. We exchange a lot with the Air Liquide sponsors of the project and we share the same desire to serve the general interest. Discussing with experts from the business world, who also come from civil society, is a valuable contribution to our reflection."

Access to medical oxygen in LMIC
Because breathing should never be a privilege, the Foundation steps in where access to medical oxygen is neglected. Through the Access Oxygen program, it turns commitment into concrete actions: through funding, equipping, advising, and training medical and technical staff to embed sustainable oxygen care at the heart of rural and peri urban communities.
