Haier: Refrigerators

Based in Qingdao, China, the company supplied more than 60,000 units of environmentally friendly and energy-efficient appliances for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. These included 5,353 refrigerators using carbon dioxide as a coolant, as well as thousands of solar water heaters and washing machines that use electrolyzed water instead of detergents to wash. After the Games, Haier (HRELF.PK) also stepped up its green commitment, pledging to turn 95% of its product line green by 2010.
