Proprietary Technologies at Work in a Range of Industries

Ever since we developed Japan's first air conditioner in 1951, the Daikin Group has used the air conditioning and chemical expertise it has built up to bring comfort to people around the world, whether they are at home or at work. In the fields of oil hydraulics and defense systems, our proprietary cutting-edge technologies and R&D capabilities have advanced industry and improved people's lives.

Of all our businesses, those with the greatest impact on environmentally are the air conditioner business and our fluorochemical business, which makes the fluorocarbon refrigerants for air conditioners. Air conditioners use large amounts of energy, and fluorocarbons are greenhouse gases that cause global warming. The structure of our business necessitates that we make it our mission to help prevent global warming. We thus do all that we can to reduce environmental impact in all areas of business.

Our aim is to be an environmentally advanced company by developing and marketing environmentally conscious products and services and by reducing emissions of fluorocarbons and CO₂ in the production, distribution, and marketing stages.

Daikin Group

The Daikin Group does business in Japan, China and the rest of Asia, Oceania, Europe, and the United States with the goal of maximizing corporate value to become a truly global and excellent company. In fiscal 2006, we further expanded our geographical area and markets through the acquisition of O.Y.L. Industries (headquarters: Malaysia), which has solid air conditioning business networks in North America and Asia. As we continue to grow worldwide, we are striving even further to contribute to society in respecting the diverse cultures and values of the countries and regions where we operate and by hiring locally to ensure our products and services meet local needs.

People are the force behind improving corporate value. To become a company trusted throughout the world, all Group employees must understand and implement our Group Philosophy, and our company must create a work environment in which employees can maximize their unique traits and work with enthusiasm and pride.

We will continue to reward stakeholders-customers, shareholders, employees, and local citizens-through our corporate growth. In the process, we will think globally while being a good citizen of the Earth and acting in the best interests of each community in our goal of becoming a truly first-rate company.
