Daikin's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Target Approved as

"Net Zero Target" by SBTi

OSAKA, Japan, August 18, 2025 - Daikin Industries, Ltd. has received certification from the Science-based Targets Initiative (SBTi), an international climate change initiative, for the Group's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets as “Net Zero Targets”. 

In 2015, the SBTi was formed as an International NGO between the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project), a coalition of institutional investors that promotes disclosure on climate change action, the United Nations Global Compact, the World Resources Institute (WRI), and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The SBTi supports and approves companies around the world to set science-based GHG emissions reduction targets in line with the Paris Agreement, which calls for limiting the rise in global temperature to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. To date, approximately 2,000 companies worldwide, including approximately 80 Japanese companies, have been certified to achieve “Net-Zero targets.” 

Daikin obtained certification for its near-term targets from SBTi in February 2024. This year, the company has also received certification for its GHG emissions reduction targets for FY2050 as “Net Zero Targets.” 

As the company that manufactures both air conditioners and refrigerants, Daikin provides products and services around the world that utilize environmental technologies. To promote business growth while also mitigating the impact to climate change, Daikin established its “Environment Vision 2050,” which aims for net zero GHG emissions from company business activities in 2050. 

Daikin will continue to provide comfortable air environments worldwide and contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society.
