Mr. Wallop Phuangphairoj, Senior Executive Director and General Manager of Daikin Industries (Thailand) Ltd., stated,

“As one of the country’s leading air conditioner manufacturers, we fully recognize that our production processes and energy consumption can have an impact on the environment. Daikin is therefore committed to developing environmentally friendly manufacturing systems and creating products with higher energy efficiency, in order to tangibly reduce the burden on the world’s resources. In addition, Daikin places great importance on designing products that are recyclable and ensuring proper end-of-life product management, so as to prevent long-term environmental impacts.

Sustainability is a core principle that underpins all of Daikin’s operations. We are moving forward with strong commitment under the Daikin Group’s global goals, including achieving Net Zero by 2030 and Carbon Neutrality by 2050. These goals reflect our determination to create a balance between business growth and our responsibilities to society and the environment.

In terms of corporate culture, we believe that environmental stewardship must begin with our own people. Management must lead by example in driving environmental policies and fostering awareness among employees at all levels through continuous activities and communication. Our goal is to ensure that every process and every activity at Daikin has no negative impact on the environment and consistently reflects our long-standing commitment to sustainability.

Daikin believes that advancing sustainable environmental policies requires accurate and transparent scientific data, as well as collaboration across all sectors. The company will continue to provide technical support and data to government agencies and regularly enhance its internal standards to deliver positive, long-term outcomes for society and the environment."

This “Environmental Protection Excellence Award” is therefore not merely a symbol of achievement, but a significant source of encouragement for Daikin to continue driving positive and sustainable change for the industry and Thailand as a whole.
