In October 2008, Daikin Industries' participation in the United Nations Global Compact was acknowledged.
The United Nations Global Compact, proposed by former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 1999 at the World Economic Forum, presents a unique strategic platform for companies to advance their commitments to sustainability and corporate citizenship. The Global Compact asks companies to embrace, support and enact, within their sphere of influence, a set of core values in the areas of human rights, labour standards, the environment, and anti-corruption.
With our newly established Group Compliance Guidelines as a beginning, Daikin Group will strive to fulfill its role and contribute to sustainable development worldwide in line with Daikin Group's management strategy incorporating the spirit of the Global Compact.
