WOKING, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Linde (Nasdaq: LIN) today announced it has been included in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Indices (previously known as Dow Jones Sustainability Indices) for the 23^rd consecutive year.

The Dow Jones Best-in-Class World Index comprises global sustainability leaders as identified by S&P Global through the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA).
