The Daikin Group's most important task is to reduce emissions of the four types of fluorocarbons-HFC, PFC, CFC, and HCFC-that are emitted in production processes in the Chemical Division and the machinery divisions.
Overseas, we eliminate these substances by properly recovering and destroying them and by preventing leaks during production processes.
And to reduce CO2 emissions during production and transportation, we utilize energy-efficient technologies and improve the efficiency of transportation methods.
Preventing the refrigerants (fluorocarbons) used in air-conditioners from leaking into the atmosphere is crucial to protecting the ozone layer and preventing global warming.
We do our utmost to ensure that no refrigerants leak from air-conditioners any time during the after-sale period. For example, we have systems for ensuring thorough collection of fluorocarbons during maintenance and disposal of commercial air-conditioners, and we accept customer requests for the recovery and destruction of fluorocarbons.

The Daikin Group works to prevent global warming by developing and promoting the widespread use of energy-efficient products such as highly efficient air-conditioners, and hot water supply units and heaters that use a heat pump.
