Analyst Comments
Praxair had a very strong safety section, with data concerning incidents and lost workdays, as well as a strong driver safety record, even though that is not graded in the PSI. However, they fell short a bit in the human rights section, as they had almost no points from there besides nondiscrimination policies. Praxair responded very quickly to questions about its use of units, and was very helpful with an issue dealing with GHG emissions. Their helpfulness is admirable, and, though it will not score them any more points, it is the kind of attitude we are looking for in companies. Analyzed by William P. Alston, and posted to the web on 6/13/2007.
