Established to promote art and culture, the Daikin Industries Foundation to Promote Modern Art supports a wide range of activities including exhibitions by the National Museum of Art, lectures, academic research, and publications. Overseas as well, we support local culture through the sponsorship of music festivals and other events.

With the aim of deepening relations between Okinawa and mainland Japan, every spring we sponsor the Daikin Orchid Ladies' Golf Tournament, the opening event of the Japan Ladies' Pro Golf Tour.

Held in conjunction with the tournament is the Orchid Bounty Foundation, which collects donations to support local arts, culture, and education.

The Daikin Group, through its local companies, supports education for youth by donating financial aid and offering technical courses.

Daikin Industries works with the NGO Conservation International in a new reforestation project in Indonesia. Daikin overseas group companies also conduct their own tree-planting activities in efforts to contribute to the absorption of CO₂.

We want to be a good corporate citizen by being keen to the problems of the communities we operate in and conducting activities that lead to solutions.

Employees at regional Daikin bases have planned ways to interact with local communities. Employees will continue to be front and center by listening to the needs of the community: this will make Daikin a known and trusted member of local society.
