Key Sustainability Themes
When we formulated Fusion 25 in fiscal 2020, we revised the importance (materiality) of various efforts to the Daikin Group, and as a result came up with five value provision themes (the environment, value with air, customer satisfaction, human resources, and co-creation) as ways to carry out CSR for value provision.
We also established five themes fundamental to our business activities (corporate governance, respect for human rights, supply chain management, stakeholder engagement, and communities).
For key CSR themes up until fiscal 2020, see the following page.
Group Conduct Guidelines
Daikin's Group Conduct Guidelines define the fundamental corporate ethics and compliance that each and every officer and employee of all Group companies around the world must follow in conducting businesses globally.
Each Group company globally then establishes their specific codes of conduct in accordance with the laws and customs of each country and region. In this manner, we comprehensively promote best practices in corporate ethics and compliance.
