Giving Back: How MHIAA Made a Difference in 2025
At Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air-Conditioners Australia (MHIAA), our purpose is to create comfort and wellbeing – not only through our air conditioning solutions, but through meaningful contributions to our community. Our commitment to excellence extends beyond technology and innovation – it’s about supporting the people and communities who make up the world around us.
This year, our team has once again demonstrated what it means to give back with purpose, compassion and unity. From local fundraisers to nationwide causes, every initiative has reflected our shared belief that small acts, when combined, can make a big impact.
Community, Connection and Care
Throughout 2025, MHIAA employees across Australia and New Zealand came together to participate in several meaningful programs and events that made a difference in people’s lives.
Here are some of the year’s highlights:
- Winter Warmer Initiative
Our annual Winter Warmer campaign brought teams together to collect and donate warm clothing, blankets and other essentials for local charities supporting families in need. This simple yet powerful initiative offered real comfort to those doing it tough during the colder months – reminding us that warmth comes in many forms.
- HeartKids Walk
MHIAA employees laced up their sneakers in support of HeartKids Australia, an organisation dedicated to helping children and families affected by congenital heart disease. Through donations and participation in the HeartKids Walk on Sunday 2nd of November, our team helped raise vital awareness and funds for critical research and family support programs, walking proudly for a cause that touches so many hearts.
- Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea
In May, staff came together for the Cancer Council’s Biggest Morning Tea, sharing homemade treats, conversations and stories while raising funds for cancer research, prevention and patient support. Beyond the cupcakes and coffee, the event sparked heartfelt moments of reflection and community spirit – proof that something as simple as a shared cuppa can create real change.
- Daffodil Day
In August, MHIAA took part in Daffodil Day, an important initiative that raises funds for Cancer Council’s life-saving research, prevention, and support services. Staff came together to show their support by wearing a touch of yellow, enjoying morning tea, and making donations. The event was a great opportunity for colleagues to connect and reflect on the importance of supporting causes that impact our wider community.
- Movember
November once again saw some impressive moustaches around the office as our team took part in Movember forming a team – MHIAA Moes! By raising funds and awareness for men’s health and mental wellbeing, our employees helped shine a light on the importance of starting conversations and supporting one another – not just this month, but all year round.
- Onigiri Action Challenge
This year, MHIAA joined the global Onigiri Action Challenge – a unique campaign – Table for Two – that turns photos of handmade rice balls (onigiri) into school meals for children in need. Every shared photo contributed to help provide five school meals to children in need by sponsoring partners for the goal of ending world hunger. It was a fun, hands-on reminder that simple actions, shared across borders, can make a lasting impact.
- Remote Formal Fit Partnership
In support of NADOIC Week, MHIAA partnered with Remote Formal Fit, to help donate formal wear to Indigenous communities across remote parts of Australia. These donations ensured students could attend their milestone formal events dressed with confidence and pride – especially in areas where access to shops and resources is limited. This initiative not only supported inclusion and opportunity but celebrated the joy of young people reaching important life moments. Some of the items donated included suits, ties, gowns, formal dresses, formal shoes, evening handbags, and cosmetics.
- Christmas Toy Drive
Our Christmas Toy Drive is now in full swing, spreading festive cheer and generosity across the company. This year, MHIAA employees came together to donate groceries, toys and gifts to support families in need during the holiday season. In addition to the collection, several team members dedicated part of their working day to visit the facility where donations are sorted, picked, packed and wrapped – ensuring every parcel is carefully prepared before being distributed to children and families.
It’s a heartwarming reminder of how the MHIAA team continues to give not only through donations but also through time, care and teamwork – helping bring joy to others at a special time of year.

Why It Matters
Our commitment to community reflects the same values that drive our business – care, innovation, and responsibility. Just as our air conditioning solutions create comfort and wellbeing for homes and businesses, our community efforts aim to bring that same sense of warmth and connection to those who need it most.
These initiatives strengthen not only the communities we serve but also the bonds within our own team, reminding us that we’re part of something bigger than ourselves.
A Shared Effort
Thank you to every MHIAA team member who participated, donated, or lent their support throughout the year. Your generosity and enthusiasm continue to make MHIAA a company that leads with purpose – in the air we condition, and in the communities we uplift.
As we close out 2025, we look forward to another year of giving back, working together, and making a difference – one initiative at a time.
