4月17日中午，联合国工业发展组织（UNIDO）总干事格尔德·穆勒（Gerd Müller）及夫人、总干事代表兼执行干事邹刺勇（Ciyong Zou）一行到访美的集团总部，美的集团执行总裁王建国及管理团队进行了接待。双方现场签署了战略合作备忘录，并围绕可持续制冷、工业降碳、绿色发展等领域进行了颇有成效的深入交流与共识，开启合作的全新篇章。

UNESCO is a specialized agency of the United Nations system for promoting sustainable industrial development and international industrial cooperation. Through its global forum function and activities such as technical cooperation with developing countries, it mainly engages in three core businesses: poverty reduction, trade capacity building, energy and environment, aiming to promote inclusive and sustainable industrial development in developing countries and transition economies.
UNIDO是联合国系统促进可持续工业发展和国际工业合作的专门机构，通过发挥其全球论坛职能及与发展中国家技术合作等活动，主要开展三大核心业务：减贫、贸易能力建设、能源和环境，旨在推动发展中国家和转型经济体的包容与可持续工业发展。



UNIDO and Midea Group will combine UNIDO's global influence in the fields of climate, environment, and energy with Midea Group's technological accumulation in the areas of green energy conservation, intelligence, and sustainable development of HVAC, and carry out comprehensive strategic cooperation around the commitments of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), jointly promoting climate friendly refrigeration technology and innovative solutions in the field of refrigeration and air conditioning to be implemented globally, and promoting industry technological innovation and application.
UNIDO和美的集团将结合UNIDO在气候、环境及能源领域的全球影响力与美的集团在暖通空调绿色节能、智能化及可持续发展等方向的技术积累，围绕联合国2030年可持续发展议程及其可持续发展目标（SDGs）的承诺开展全方位战略合作，共同促进制冷空调领域的气候友好型制冷技术和创新解决方案在全球范围落地，推动行业技术创新与产业应用。

Against the backdrop of synchronous promotion of technology cooperation with UNESCO, Midea Group has always been steadfast in promoting green development. As of January 2026, Midea has officially sold over 10 million units of R290 natural and environmentally friendly refrigerant air conditioners worldwide, and has been certified as the "world's number one R290 air conditioning enterprise" for three consecutive years (source: Euromonitor International). By translating technological feasibility into market reality, Midea is leading the industry towards a substantial transformation towards R290 and natural refrigerants, taking concrete actions to address the challenges of global climate change.
在与UNIDO技术合作同步推进的背景下，美的集团始终坚定不移地推动绿色发展。截至2026年1月，美的已正式在全球范围内售出超过1000万台R290天然环保制冷剂空调，并连续三年获得“全球第一R290空调企业”认证（来源：欧睿咨询Euromonitor International）。通过将技术可行性转化为市场现实，美的正引领全行业向R290和天然制冷剂转型的实质性转变，以切实行动应对全球气候变化挑战。



In the future, through deep collaboration with UNESCO, Midea Group will continue to increase innovation investment, lead the industry's green transformation, and contribute the power of beauty to global sustainable development.
未来，通过与UNIDO的深度协同，美的集团将持续加大创新投入，持续引领行业绿色转型，为全球可持续发展贡献美的力量。
