Sustainability

Whether it's reducing our greenhouse gas impact, leading the phase-out of ozone-depleting refrigerants, or introducing many of the world's most energy-efficient building solutions, at Carrier, we incorporate sustainability into all that we do. To us, it's only natural.

Leadership

Sustainability at UTC means we can do good for the planet while we do good for our employees, communities, customers and shareowners. The process of integrating sustainability into UTC’s business strategy began in 1991 when we first established environment and safety goals. UTC’s program has evolved into a comprehensive strategy that includes absolute annual reductions in energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Since 1997, we have tripled the size of our business while reducing our greenhouse gas emissions by 34 percent and water consumption by 57 percent.
