Carrier released its 2021 Environmental, Social & Governance Report and 2030 Environmental, Social & Governance Goals – Investing in our planet

Today, HVAC contributes an estimated 15% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. Carrier recognises the potential for smart, sustainable innovation, and is committed to setting science-based emissions targets aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement. 
 
In 2020, Carrier exceeded their prior targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption and hazardous waste generation and to increase recycling. Sustainable innovation is driving their customer value and industry leadership. Carrier has invested over $800 million in the last two years in research and development, prioritising products and solutions that leverage efficient, digital and connected technologies. That has set them up to reduce their customers’ carbon footprint by 68 million metric tons in 2020.

Now with Carrier’s 2030 environmental, social and governance goals, they continue to push themselves to think bigger and be better. By innovating, empowering their people and operating with integrity, they can continue to do good for our planet, our people and our communities. Together, they are solving the challenges of today, creating a more sustainable tomorrow and inspiring confidence around the world.
 

Carrier’s energy management program focuses on implementing sustainable energy-reduction initiatives for specific facility conditions. Facilities are required to review and select best management practices to achieve energy and greenhouse gas emission reductions and document them. 

These include: 
  • Conducting regular energy audits to identify additional projects to improve energy efficiency. 
  • Executing building retrofit improvements to reduce heating and cooling needs. 
  • Responsible refrigerant management in production and testing processes. 
  • Electric load management to reduce energy needs during peak times. 
  • Energy-efficient lighting fixtures and monitors. 
  • Identifying and fixing compressed air system leaks. 
  • “Shut-it-off” programs to reduce equipment energy use when not in operation.
