Meeting our responsibility to the planet
Daikin recognises it has a major social responsibility to the natural environment. Daikin’s leading environmental technologies of heat pumps, inverters and refrigerants provide solutions in the crucial shift towards carbon neutrality. We are constantly developing and improving our products to be part of the climate solution.
Daikin is on a journey to create a cleaner, greener environment for all. Our aim is to achieve net zero by 2050, in order to benefit the generations to come.
We recognise that we are taking the first steps along this path, and we have a long road to travel. However, we are determined to move as quickly as possible towards the destination of net zero.
Our challenge
Humanity is facing its greatest ever challenge: climate change has become a global emergency. Currently, the expected rate of warming is 3°C by the end of the century. But we need to reduce that figure to below 1.5°C if we want to mitigate the most serious risks to people and the planet.
To achieve this target, the UK Government has committed to achieving Net Zero Greenhouse Gases by 2050. And the energy, construction and HVAC industries have a huge role to play. We must quadruple the UK’s supply of low-carbon electricity. Improve building efficiencies to significantly higher standards, delivering crucial energy savings and reducing emissions. And transition to low-carbon heating solutions. We must also move away from F-gases.
The UK has committed to reducing F-gas emissions by 68% between 2015 and 2030. And at Daikin, we’re committed to playing our part – and helping you play yours, too. Because we’re more than just an equipment supplier or maintenance provider: we’re defining the HVAC industry of tomorrow – one that’s fit for a low-carbon future.
Our commitment
At Daikin, we take our responsibility to the planet seriously. We are committed to making an active difference to the impact we have on the environment.
Our products have become vital to people's lives around the world. However, heating and cooling systems emit large amounts of CO2 from energy consumption during use, and from the impacts of their refrigerants. We fully recognise our accountability for this environmental impact. And we’re proactively working to lead the way for change in our industry.
Daikin is making major advances to reduce carbon emissions in our technology and our operations. We are taking the first steps along our journey towards the destination of net zero. This is our top priority and our prime focus. And we are determined to play our part in creating a cleaner, greener world.
