Gree Joins GeSI: Advancing Digital Sustainability Together

To share expertise from smart manufacturing to low-carbon solutions, shaping a greener future.

We are delighted to welcome Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai as one the newest member of the GeSI community!

Founded in 1991 and now operating in more than 190 countries and regions, Gree has grown from a small air-conditioner assembler into a diversified global group covering consumer goods and industrial equipment. With 77 production bases worldwide and around 80,000 employees, Gree is one of the world’s leading companies in the home appliances and HVAC industry.

Gree’s story is also one of innovation and digital transformation. The company invests heavily in R&D with a “no upper limit” principle, holding over 132,000 patents (including 72,000+ invention patents). Its intelligent manufacturing systems integrate digital platforms across production, supply chain, and logistics, ensuring real-time decision-making across dozens of factories. In 2024, Gree launched its Group Manufacturing Operations Decision Platform, allowing transparent, data-driven oversight of over 70 production bases.

Sustainability is at the heart of Gree’s strategy. Guided by the concept “For the Clearer Sky and Greener Earth,” Gree has established renewable resource bases and recycling systems that have already processed nearly 70 million discarded appliances, reducing more than 1.2 million tons of CO₂ emissions. The company’s breakthrough “Zero Carbon Source” air conditioning technology even won the Global Cooling Prize, proving that comfort and climate responsibility can go hand in hand.

By joining GeSI, Gree brings not only technological strength but also a strong commitment to low-carbon innovation, sustainable standards development, and industry-wide collaboration. Together, we look forward to accelerating climate solutions and creating shared value for a greener future.
