Daikin Industries, Ltd. has developed a new “Daikin Group Philosophy. Operating in over 170 countries and regions, Daikin has grown into a global corporate group with around 100,000 employees. In 2024, celebrating its 100th anniversary, the company took the opportunity to revise its “Group Philosophy,” originally established in 2002. The goal is to understand, preserve, and enhance its strengths while meeting the expectations and demands of society and stakeholders.
During the review, Daikin aimed to craft a philosophy that clearly communicates its aspirations and values to both internal and external stakeholders. This philosophy outlines what the company seeks to be and what it values, addressing the need for change in a rapidly evolving corporate environment. Daikin emphasizes that its diverse global workforce should understand, resonate with, and accept the new philosophy, using it as a guide for their actions.
The revised Daikin Group Philosophy begins with its Purpose, condensed from ten chapters to six for clarity. Additionally, the company has introduced “PCM Behaviors,” a set of action guidelines based on People-Centered Management (PCM), which all Group employees are expected to follow.
