Today , I’m very lucky to interview DAIKIN. And the manager of DAIKIN, Mr. Smith received us.
Q: the climate change in the world today, the global warming trend has not been alleviated, is there any good measures and countermeasures?
A: Using Our Strength in Technology to Help Mitigate Climate Change。
To contribute to solving the problem of climate change, we are using our technological strength. For years, we have focused on highly energy-efficient products and services in order to bring more and more people around the world environmental technologies that mitigate the further increase of greenhouse gas emissions.
We are developing and promoting the global dissemination of products and technologies, that contribute to mitigating environmental impact, including R-32, a new refrigerant that reduces global warming impact to just one-third that of conventional refrigerants; heat-pump type heating systems, which result in CO2 emissions less than 50% of those from conventional combustion-type heating; and inverter technology, which offers both comfort and energy efficiency.
In 2015, we opened the Daikin Technology Innovation Center, a global R&D base for creating new social value in the fields of air enviropment of environmental technologies for the realization of a sustainable socionment and energy. This center will enable us to broaden our business concept，from buildings to overall space, and from air conditioning to air itselfand to facilitate develety.

Q: What kind of attention should be given to the environment with the rapidly developed economy?
A: One of mankind's greatest challenges will be to minimize the rise in energy consumption accompanying economic development, especially in the rapidly growing emerging countries. We at Daikin Industries are well aware that climate change resulting from an increase in greenhouse gas emissions is a major social issue that we must endeavor to solve.
Q: What kind of development is most desirable in the heart of the DAIKIN?
A: Coexistence with Society Based on Local Needs
Daikin products and services, such as air conditioners that use refrigerants with low global warming potential, help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in emerging countries. We also enthusiastically engage in local environmental protection activities around the world.
Forests keep temperatures down they are "nature's air conditioner." As part of social contribution activities beginning in fiscal 2014 to celebrate our 90th anniversary, we are expanding conservation activities to the Amazon rainforest and six other locations around the world to help prevent illegal development and protect valuable forests by supporting sustainable livelihoods of the people living there. As a company that provides people with a comfortable air environment and tackles the major challenge of mitigating climate change, we aim to mitigate global warming and ensure that future generations continue to have forests that nurture the Earth's air.
Throughout these and other social contribution activities, employees at Daikin bases around the world take front and center in our efforts to respond to local needs.
Since 2008, the Daikin Group has been taking part in the United Nations Global Compact, an initiative for companies committed to operations and strategies in line with ten universally accepted principles in areas including human rights, labor, the environment, and anti-corruption. We also follow the ISO 26000, guidance standard for social responsibility, in conducting CSR management in accordance with internationally recognized standards. We will continue to contribute to society to fulfill the high expectations that our stakeholders customers, shareholders, suppliers, and communities have for us.
