Developing and Promoting Products and Services That Reduce Environmental Impact

Response to Climate Change


Daikin is working in numerous areas to reduce environmental impact, such as by developing and promoting products including high energy efficiency inverter units, refrigerants that have a lower global warming potential, and heat-pump heaters that offer better control of CO2 emissions than combustion heaters.

Furthermore, by promoting these products and services, we will contribute to solving global environmental and energy problems while providing a healthy and comfortable air environment, as well as contribute to achieving a carbon neutral society.
