As Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR) works toward its vision to be the global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions, the company in 2025 leveraged its unique knowledge and expertise to make a positive impact on our planet, people and communities.
“Enhancing the lives we live and the world we share is more than just a commitment; it’s a call to action,” said Ashley Barrie, Executive Director, Corporate Social Responsibility, Carrier. “United with our employees, we are transforming our purpose into meaningful action – creating lasting change for our communities where Carrier lives and operates.”
Sustainable solutions for the planet’s greatest environmental challenges.
In 2025, Carrier launched its “For the Air We Breathe, For the World We Share” program with the Arbor Day Foundation, committing to plant 5 million trees by 2030. The nature-based solutions initiative supports large-scale global reforestation in priority regions and encourages employee participation through volunteer tree plantings, helping to improve air quality, generate oxygen and address extreme heat in communities worldwide. During the first year, just over 1 million trees were planted in the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil, the Cauvery River Basin in India, Kenyan farmland and Monarch Butterfly habitat in Mexico, as well as in other critical global ecosystems.
Carrier also diversified its longstanding collaboration with Habitat for Humanity International through a new initiative that provided grants to enhance sustainable construction practices and enable in-person training on resilience strategies for builders. These initiatives are designed to build homes that conserve energy and natural resources, mitigate against natural events, provide healthier indoor air with more ventilation, air filtration and humidity controls, and reduce long-term utility and repair/replacement costs for Habitat homeowners. Carrier donated energy-efficient HVAC systems and Carrier Smart Thermostats, and employee volunteers supported global home builds.
A skilled and inclusive workforce to support intelligent climate and energy solutions.
This year, Carrier expanded its commitment to developing trade technicians of the future through a new collaboration with the TechForce Foundation, providing HVAC program scholarships and free online HVAC training, and establishing an HVAC, Homes & Buildings category within its technician recognition program. This initiative builds on Carrier’s ongoing investments to innovation and skilled jobs, and its previously announced TechVantage Initiative, which aims to hire 1,000 U.S. service technicians and train more than 100,000 across Carrier and its ecosystem.
Thriving communities.
Carrier donated over $2.5 million in indoor air purifiers to help improve air quality for the communities most impacted by the historic wildfires in California.
The company also supported hunger relief organizations, such as Feeding America and the European Food Banks Federation, by expanding capacity to rescue more perishable food for its network of food banks. Employees volunteered at food banks across the world, leading up to International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste and beyond.
It’s all a part of Carrier’s commitment to shaping a better world for generations to come. One community, one project, one person at a time. For more information, visit https://www.corporate.carrier.com/corporate-responsibility/social-impact/our-communities.
