The Eco First symbol
On November 11, 2008, Daikin Industries was presented with official certification for the Eco First Program established by Japan's Ministry of the Environment in April 2008. The award recognized Daikin's Eco First Commitment of environmental protection targets. Daikin is now the first company in its industry to earn the right to use the Eco First symbol.
Under the Eco First Program, companies make a commitment to the Ministry of the Environment to carry out voluntary environmental protection activities aimed at meeting the targets of the Kyoto Protocol.
As the world’s only developer and manufacturer of both air conditioners and their fluorocarbon refrigerants, Daikin makes it a top priority to reduce global warming. Under FUSION 10, Daikin’s final three-year strategic management plan that sets targets for fiscal 2010, the company does all it can to alleviate environmental problems and focus on business areas that make this possible, establishing environmentally strategic themes, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and developing and disseminating the use of products that help customers reduce global warming.
Daikin Group is striving to achieve both environmental sustainability and corporate growth by making the most of environmental technologies such as inverters and heat pumps to drive our business.
