OSAKA, Japan, January 9, 2026 - Daikin Industries, Ltd. was recently selected by CDP for its A List, the organization’s highest ranking, in the two categories of Climate Change and Water Security. CDP is a global non-profit that operates the world’s only independent environmental disclosure system for companies and local governments. In selecting Daikin, it recognized the company’s excellent policies and disclosure practices relating to climate change and water. This selection represents the second consecutive time, and the fifth time overall, that Daikin has been named to the A List for Climate Change and the first time for Water Security.
CDP is a non-profit organization that encourages companies and local governments to promote efforts for the environment and disclose information about these activities, including the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the preservation of water resources and forests, based on requests for information from global institutional investors and others with a strong interest in environmental issues. Each year, CDP collects, analyzes, and surveys information on the environmental activities of major companies around the world, reviews the information using its own unique evaluation process, and publishes the results. More than 22,100 companies worldwide responded to the 2025 survey.
In working to resolve various social issues, including global environmental issues, Daikin stands committed to both improving corporate value and contributing to the growth of a sustainable society.
This is especially true in Daikin’s core business of air conditioning, where demand is expected to expand as a vital form of infrastructure supporting human health and economic development. However, with rising energy consumption becoming a major social issue, the company has made addressing climate change its most important priority. In its Environmental Vision 2050, the company has set the goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gases and incorporated this goal into its Fusion 25 strategic management plan. Daikin is currently working to achieve this goal across its entire value chain, including measures in monozukuri (manufacturing and development), development and supply of environmentally conscious products, and establishment of refrigerant recovery and reclamation systems in the market.
With regards to water, Daikin views it as an important resource that is closely related to climate change and biodiversity and is currently strengthening measures such as reducing water withdrawals by reusing wastewater at its manufacturing bases around the world.
In the future, Daikin will continue to actively work towards resolving various environmental issues, including climate change and water conservation, in providing comfortable air environments around the world and contributing to the realization of a better environmental society.
