Daikin's Climate Promise
Meeting our responsibility to the planet
In order to meet the UK’s target of net zero by 2050, switching to sustainable energy is critical. That’s why Daikin is leading a heating revolution to help people reduce their carbon footprint.
Daikin is committed to providing homes, businesses and industries with the most efficient and safe solutions to meet all of our cooling and heating needs, today and in the future.
Quite simply, our products help people reduce their carbon footprint and their personal impact on the environment. Together we can be part of the climate solution.
Daikin's Sustainability Action Plan
Daikin UK has committed to reducing its carbon emissions by at least 5% in 2023 and is targeting an even higher reduction of 12% this year with a 10 point action plan.
Why forests? Forests are ‘nature’s air conditioners’ as they contribute to controlling the planet’s temperature as well as nourishing the air. They play an invaluable role in combating climate change. By preserving and restoring our world’s largest native forests, we can help to reduce greenhouse gases and address biodiversity loss.
‘Forests for the Air’ isn’t just about reforestation. We’re also providing support for the communities in these locations to make their living in a sustainable manner. Across all seven locations – Japan, Indonesia, Cambodia, China, India, Liberia and Brazil – we’re helping to manage these ecosystems sustainably, contributing to the prosperity and well-being of future generations.
Our forests play a critical role for life on our planet. Let’s not take them for granted.
Daikin’s steps towards a carbon-neutral future
Daikin recognises that we have a major social responsibility to the natural environment.
We have made it our challenge to achieve carbon neutrality.
We aim to achieve a carbon-neutral society across our entire value chain. This covers not only product development and production, but also the impact of our product use. And also what happens to our systems at the end of life.
Alongside minimising CO2 emissions from our business operations, we’re focusing on reducing electricity consumption during usage. We’re making it our mission to lead the industry towards a greener future.
We’re working hard to mitigate the impact of refrigerants, by pioneering the use of improved refrigerants and developing next generation solutions to reduce global warming even further. We’re also recycling refrigerants currently in use.
Daikin is fully behind the decarbonisation of the heating market. We’re investing heavily to promote the transition from combustion heating to heat pumps that use heat in the air. To put it simply, heat pumps are the future of heating.
