ATLANTA, April 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chart Industries, Inc . (NYSE: GTLS), a leading global engineering design and manufacturer of highly engineered equipment servicing multiple applications in the clean energy and industrial gas markets, released its 2022 ESG Performance Report, which is contained as a supplement to this release.
