Climate Change Strategy Details
• BROAD believes that protecting the environment is as important as making profit. All the products and services are centered on energy saving. BROAD avoids the mainstream electric air conditioning market and specializes in non-electric chillers using clean energy and natural refrigerant. BROAD non-electric air conditioning was invented in 1992. Through major technological improvement, BROAD products have achieved very high energy efficiency. Compared with conventional electric air conditioning, BROAD non-electric air conditioning is 200% more energy efficient, while its CO2 emissions are 4 times lower and investment is 1/3 less.
• In October 2008, BROAD formally joined The Climate Group. Being among the first group of Chinese global members, BROAD will participate in The Climate Group's global climate coalition making a landmark commitment to fight global warming and play a key role in the world's transition to a low carbon economy, e.g. the "Low Carbon Eco-building Initiative" and financial support on policy and research reports.
• BROAD's founder and president, Mr Zhang Yue has been initiating and participating in a wild-range of activities and campaigns on climate change and energy saving issues, aiming at reminding and influencing the public, enterprises and government departments to pay more attention to climate change and environment protection.
