DAIKIN Joins GlobalABC, A UNEP-Led Initiative

Daikin Indonesia • 27 Mei 2026

OSAKA, Japan, May 27 2026 - Daikin Industries, Ltd. has joined the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC), an international initiative aimed at promoting decarbonization in the building and construction sector.



GlobalABC is an international platform led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), bringing together more than 400 stakeholders, including governments, international organizations, and companies, to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the building and construction sector. Through international collaboration, the initiative advances global decarbonization efforts by providing guidance for the development of national roadmaps and facilitating discussions through working groups.


Daikin has been strengthening its collaboration with GlobalABC through participation in various events and ongoing dialogue. At COP30, held in Belém, Brazil, in November 2025, Daikin participated in a session hosted by GlobalABC and shared its initiatives and perspectives on accelerating the adoption of highly energy-efficient air conditioners and heat pump heating technologies.


As climate change becomes an increasingly critical global issue, the importance of decarbonization in the building and construction sector continues to grow. Buildings such as homes, offices, and commercial facilities account for approximately 40% of global CO₂ emissions. In particular, energy consumption for heating and cooling represents a significant portion of these emissions. Recognizing the important role Daikin can play globally in addressing these challenges, we decided to join GlobalABC.


In recent years, in addition to reducing emissions associated with energy consumption during building operation, there is growing emphasis on “whole life carbon” emissions across the entire building lifecycle, including the manufacturing of materials and equipment, construction, and demolition. Through its participation in GlobalABC, Daikin will further strengthen collaboration with stakeholders across the building and construction sector and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions throughout the lifecycle of buildings.


“As a global leader in the air conditioning industry, Daikin will continue to steadily advance the adoption and implementation of solutions that contribute to decarbonization in the building and construction sector,” said Katsuyuki Sawai, Senior Executive Officer at Daikin Industries, responsible for CSR, Global Environment, and External Relations. “At the same time, we will work to help create an environment in which the values of these solutions are properly recognized and supported. Through collaboration with the international community, we will aim to contribute to a more sustainable society.”


DAIKIN Spoke at the Sustainable Buildings and Construction Summit (SBCS) 2026

Daikin spoke at the Sustainable Buildings and Construction Summit (SBCS) 2026, an international conference hosted by GlobalABC from April 20 to 22 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where the company shared its initiatives and perspectives on decarbonization in the building and construction sector.


SBCS serves as a leading global platform for discussions on decarbonization in the building and construction sector. The conference brought together 468 participants from 64 countries, including representatives from international organizations, governments, private companies, and financial institutions, to accelerate concrete actions across policy, technology, and finance.


At a plenary panel discussion during the conference, Kazuma Koyama, Senior Manager, External Relations Dept. at Daikin Industries, Ltd., highlighted the importance of not only developing new technologies but also expanding the adoption of existing high-efficiency technologies such as heat pumps, as well as strengthening lifecycle refrigerant management across society to advance decarbonization in the building and construction sector. He also emphasized that collaboration with policymakers is essential to accelerate the broader implementation of advanced existing technologies and introduced Daikin’s proactive involvement in policy development. Furthermore, he expressed the view that appropriate recognition and support from building standards and financial markets would help create new business opportunities across the entire value chain.



In addition, Patrick Crombez, Deputy General Manager, Environmental Research Center at Daikin Europe N.V., spoke at a plenary presentation session. He presented case studies demonstrating the effectiveness of replacing fossil-fuel-based heating systems with heat pumps in existing buildings. He also explained that optimizing building performance, construction methods, and equipment technologies in an integrated manner is key to decarbonization through wider adoption of heat pumps. Furthermore, he introduced perspectives on improving installation efficiency through standardization and modularization, addressing labor shortages, and contributing to greater flexibility in power systems.

OSAKA, JAPAN, 26 May 2026 - Daikin Industries, Ltd. has received the “Prize of the Chairman of the Japan Institute of Invention and Innovation (JIII)” at the 2026 National Commendation for Invention, organized by the Japan Institute of Invention and Innovation, for its “Invention of an Atmosphere Control System Enabling Long-Distance Maritime Container Transport of Fresh Produce.” The award ceremony is scheduled to be held on June 15 at The Okura Tokyo. This marks the fourth time Daikin has received a special award or higher recognition at the National Commendation for Invention. Established in 1919, the National Commendation for Invention is an award program aimed at contributing to the advancement of science and technology and the development of industry in Japan. The program recognizes outstanding inventions, ideas, and designs that have made significant contributions or are expected to contribute substantially in the future due to their excellence. The awarded invention applies Controlled Atmosphere (CA) technology to enable long-distance maritime transport of fresh produce while maintaining freshness over extended periods. By controlling oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations inside shipping containers according to the respiration rate of produce, the system helps preserve freshness throughout transportation. The invention was highly evaluated as a technology that contributes to the global transportation of a wider variety of fruits and vegetables while reducing environmental impact compared with air freight. Leveraging refrigeration, freezing, and air control technologies cultivated through its air conditioning business, Daikin has long pursued the creation of new value not only in comfortable indoor environments, but also in fields such as industry, food distribution, and agriculture. Although air itself is invisible, optimizing factors such as temperature, humidity, airflow, and gas concentration holds significant potential for preserving the freshness of produce, reducing food loss, and enabling more sustainable supply chains. As a company committed to “Perfecting the Air,” Daikin will continue advancing its air control technologies to help reduce environmental impact and address societal challenges, thereby contributing to the realization of a more sustainable society.

Jakarta – PT Daikin Airconditioning Indonesia (DAIKIN) meraih penghargaan Paritrana Award 2025 dari Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial (BPJS) Ketenagakerjaan. Penghargaan tahunan ini diberikan bagi pemerintah daerah, badan usaha dan Usaha Kecil Menengah (UKM) yang menunjukkan komitmen tinggi dalam perlindungan jaminan sosial ketenagakerjaan. “Apresiasi tinggi yang kami terima ini mencerminkan komitmen kuat DAIKIN dalam menjadikan perlindungan tenaga kerja sebagai bagian integral dari praktek bisnis berkelanjutan,” ujar Budi Mulia, Direktur PT Daikin Airconditioning Indonesia saat menerima penghargaan. Penghargaan ini sendiri diberikan langsung oleh Menteri Koordinator Bidang Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Republik Indonesia, Muhaimin Iskandar, dalam acara yang digelar di kantor pusat BPJS Ketenagakerjaan di kawasan H Rasuna Said, Jakarta (8/5/2026). Sebagai penghargaan di bidang perlindungan tenaga kerja, Paritrana Award diawali melalui proses kompetisi diantara berbagai perusahaan dan institusi dari seluruh Indonesia. Dalam penilaiannya, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan menetapkan sejumlah indikator utama bagi para kandidat penerima penghargaan, meliputi inovasi program, kepatuhan administrasi, perluasan cakupan kepesertaan, hingga kepedulian terhadap pekerja rentan. Yang membuat penghargaan ini bergengsi, proses kompetisi dan seleksi dilakukan secara berjenjang. Dimulai dari tingkat provinsi sebelum kemudian berlanjut ke tingkat nasional untuk menentukan penerima terbaik. Lebih lanjut Budi Mulia yang bertindak langsung mewakili DAIKIN dalam mengikuti proses seleksi ini mengungkapkan, keberhasilan DAIKIN sebagai penerima penghargaan ini dari kategori badan usaha besar dan menengah, merupakan wujud nyata perusahaan dalam mendukung perlindungan jaminan sosial tenaga kerja. Tak hanya prakteknya di lingkungan perusahaan, namun pula menyentuh hingga upaya nyata mendorong mitra bisnisnya serta kepedulian terhadap pekerja rentan. Dalam praktek nyata perlindungan tenaga kerja di lingkungan DAIKIN, menurut Budi Mulia, tercermin dari kepatuhan administrasi perusahaan. Selain mendaftarkan seluruh karyawan dalam perlindungan jaminan sosial BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, DAIKIN juga memastikan ketepatan dalam pemenuhan iuran jaminan sosial bagi seluruh karyawannya. Bergerak lebih luas dalam mewujudnyatakan komitmennya bagi jaminan sosial tenaga kerja, DAIKIN pun turut mendorong peningkatan kesadaran akan pentingnya jaminan sosial di kalangan mitra bisnisnya. Hal ini dilakukan dengan mewajibkan mitra subkontraktor untuk mendaftarkan tenaga kerjanya dalam program jaminan sosial dari BPJS Ketenagakerjaan. Dalam sosialisasinya, DAIKIN dikatakan Budi Mulia dalam momen seleksi tersebut, menggandeng langsung BPJS Ketenagakerjaan. Tak hanya itu, Budi Mulia pun memberi paparan terkait peran aktif perusahaan dalam mendukung program SERTAKAN (Sejahterakan Pekerja Sekitar Anda). Menjadi inisiatif dari BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, program ini dirancang mendorong perusahaan maupun individu untuk berkontribusi dalam memberikan perlindungan jaminan sosial bagi pekerja informal maupun pekerja rentan di sekitarnya. Diantaranya seperti asisten rumah tangga, pengemudi, dan pelaku usaha kecil. Dalam partisipasinya pada program SERTAKAN, DAIKIN tercatat sebagai perusahaan dengan kontribusi signifikan dalam upayanya memberikan perlindungan jaminan sosial bagi lebih banyak pekerja rentan. Sepanjang tahun 2025 saja, DAIKIN telah berkontribusi dalam perlindungan bagi 24.802 pekerja rentan di berbagai sektor. Lebih lanjut bicara terkait keberhasilan DAIKIN dalam mendapatkan penghargaan ini, Budi Mulia menyatakan harapannya, hal ini tidak saja menjadi pemacu DAIKIN untuk terus memperkuat komitmennya pada kesejahteraan pekerja. Namun lebih dari itu,”Kami berharap, penyelenggaraan penghargaan ini juga dapat menjadi inspirasi bagi lebih banyak pihak untuk bersama mengambil peran bagi kesejahteraan lebih banyak pekerja di Indonesia,” pungkas Budi Mulia.
