Overview of Fiscal 2011

Environmental Action Plan 2015 Underway

Environmental Action Plan 2015 focuses on three pillars: (1) Providing Environmentally Conscious Products, (2) Eco-conscious Factories and Offices, and (3) Environmental Cooperation with Stakeholders.

For (1), one action target is to contribute to the reduction of CO₂ emissions through the provision of products. Our goal is to reduce CO₂ emissions by 30 million tons in emerging countries in 2015, and in fiscal 2011 we were able to reduce emissions by 17 million tons.

For (2), we have set a target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from production in fiscal 2015 to just one-third of fiscal 2005 levels (a 67% reduction). In fiscal 2011, we achieved 62% emission reductions through efforts that included reducing fluorocarbon emissions in our chemicals divisions.

For (3), our action target is to work with stakeholders such as local citizens, governments, and NPOs to make environmental contributions that meet local needs. In fiscal 2011, we began support of environmental protection at Shiretoko, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Environmental Action Plan 2015

Action targets		FY2015 target values		FY2011 results
Providing Environmentally Conscious Products Provide the world with products that help customers reduce CO₂ emissions.
Spread use of energy-efficient air conditioners to reduce CO₂ emissions. Spread use of heat-pump type heating systems. Offer energy-saving solutions. Develop future refrigerants.		Through expansion in the widespread use of energy-saving products such as those using inverters, aim to help curtail CO₂ emissions to 30 million tons for developing countries.		17 million ton curtailment
Eco-conscious Factories & Offices Minimize environmental impact from production and other activities.

Environmental Cooperation with Stakeholders Expand the Green Heart circle to Daikin worldwide.
Environmental and social contribution activities	Join local governments, citizens, and NPOs to make environmental and social contributions at each global base according to regional characteristics.	Carry out environmental and social contribution activities (forest restoration, tree-planting, environmental education, protection of biodiversity within Daikin bases) at worldwide bases.		Began support of environmental protection at Shiretoko, etc.
