The Annual General Meeting Grand Prize, awarded as part of the Paris EUROPLACE International Financial Forum, is organized by the communication agency Capitalcom in partnership with eleven institutions. It rewards companies whose Annual General Meetings meet best practice standards, based on a list of around 100 criteria.

The Jury chose to award this prize to Air Liquide in particular thanks to the quality of the information presented explaining the macroeconomic context, the strategic elements and corporate objectives included in Chairman and CEO Benoît Potier's speech, the informative approach to the main resolutions, and the great consideration given to individual shareholders.

The Awards Ceremony took place on July 8 in Paris. Air Liquide had already won this prize before in 2007 and 2009.
