PDF | 194.62KB
Osaka, July 2025 – Daikin Industries, Ltd. was selected for the ‘A List’ by CDP, an international environmental non-profit organization that operates a global environmental information disclosure system for companies and local governments, in recognition of Daikin's excellence in climate actions and environmental disclosure.
CDP is a non-profit organization, encouraging companies and local governments to promote initiatives and disclose information on environmental issues, such as greenhouse gas emissions reduction, water conservation, and forest protection, based on requests from global institutional investors with a strong interest in the environment. The organization collects, analyzes, and evaluates information concerning the environmental activities of major global companies and annually selects the companies most distinguished for their climate change initiatives and information disclosure for its ‘Climate Change A List.’ In 2024, more than 24,800 companies worldwide responded to the survey, including over 2,100 from Japan, representing more than 70% of the listed companies there.
The demand for HVAC-R (heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration), which is Daikin's core business, is expected to expand as an essential form of social infrastructure that contributes to people's health and supports economic growth. However, the increase in electric power consumption caused by air-conditioning use is a social problem.
To promote business growth while mitigating the impacts of climate change, Daikin established its ‘Environmental Vision 2050’ in 2018, which aims for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from its business activities. To achieve this, the company set ‘Challenge to Achieve Carbon Neutrality’ as a key theme in its strategic management plan, Fusion25, through fiscal 2025. In addition to measures in the ‘monozukuri’ (manufacturing and development) process as well as the development and expansion of environmentally conscious products, the company addresses the entire value chain, including building a refrigerant recovery and reclamation system for the market.
Daikin will continue to provide comfortable air environments worldwide and contribute to achieving a decarbonized society.
