Air Liquide confirms today its intention to withdraw from Russia. Taking a responsible and orderly approach, the Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the local management team with the objective to transfer its activities in Russia in the framework of an MBO (Management Buy Out). This project is notably subject to Russian regulatory approvals. In parallel, as a consequence of the evolution of the geopolitical context, the activities of the Group in Russia will no longer be consolidated starting September 1, 2022.
液化空气集团近日证实,公司打算退出俄罗斯。以负责和有序的方式,集团与当地管理团队签署了一份谅解备忘录,目的是在MBO(管理层收购)的框架下转移其在俄罗斯的活动。该项目显然需要获得俄罗斯监管部门的批准。与此同时,由于地缘政治背景的演变,从2022年9月1日起,集团不再巩固在俄罗斯的活动。
Air Liquide employs close to 720 people in Russia and its turnover in the country represents less than 1% of the Group’s turnover. This divestment project to local managers aims to allow an orderly, sustainable and responsible transfer of its activities in Russia, ensuring notably the continuity of oxygen supply to hospitals. As a reminder, the Group has previously announced, in the context of the closing of its accounts at June 30, 2022 an exceptional provision of 404 million euros on the Group’s assets in Russia, which has no impact on cash.
液化空气集团在俄罗斯拥有近720名员工,在该国的营业额不到集团营业额的1%。这个撤资的项目旨在使其在俄罗斯的活动有秩序、可持续和负责任地转移,特别是确保向医院供应氧气的连续性。值得一提的是,该集团此前曾宣布,在2022年6月30日关闭其账户的背景下,将对集团在俄罗斯的资产拨备4.04亿欧元,此次的剥离对现金没有影响。
