ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS

Throughout the last 50 years or so the basic building blocks of life - air, water and the earth - have been systematically subjected to increasing levels of pollution with little regard to their potentially devastating effects on future generations.

Recently however, concern has grown regarding climate changes, acid rain, water and air pollution and the constant degradation of Earth's natural resources. The very technology that created these problems is now being harnessed to halt and reverse them. Depletion of the ozone layer and global warming have been highlighted and are now being addressed. Government legislation prohibiting the use of toxic substances and the generation of pollutants has slowed down the destruction of the environment.

Daikin Europe is proud to have been pro active in this respect, closely following its Japanese parent in implementing policies that have often pre-empted official legislative codes and directives. As a result, a culture of "environmental management" has since 2001, played a key role in the company's day to day activities and development strategies.

Top management commitment is reflected in the establishment of a number of action plans, which are now strictly observed and implemented throughout the Daikin Group.
