Enhancing the lives we live and the world we share starts with the air we breathe.
Carrier is collaborating with the Arbor Day Foundation, the world’s largest tree-planting charitable organization, through an exciting new initiative to plant 5 million trees by 2030.
One million trees will be planted each year in areas around the world where they can have the most impact – and we want our customers and employees to help decide where to plant them!
In our first year, Carrier trees will be planted to restore the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil, the Cauvery River Basin in India, England’s Community Forests, Kenyan farmland and Mexican Monarch Butterfly habitat.
Our trees will also support projects in the United States, including Hurricane Michael recovery in Florida, strengthening watersheds in Oregon/Washington and regenerating the Longleaf pine ecosystem in Texas.
Take our poll now to help determine our 9th planting location for 2025.
Trees help improve air quality, generate oxygen, reduce urban heat and strengthen our planet for our children and our children’s children. Together, we will drive meaningful impact. Over their lifespan, it is estimated that 5 million trees could:
Generate enough oxygen for the population of London and New York combined for a day.*
Capture CO2 equivalent to a half million homes' electricity use in a year.*
Remove pollutants from the air equal to those generated by 600K+ gas-powered automobiles for a year.*
In addition to large-scale tree planting in geographies in need of support to help impact global cooling, Carrier is dedicated to supporting localized climate resiliency and influencing urban heat impact in locations where Carrier lives, works and operates.
Trees provide shade to cool urban areas by up to 10F.1
Carrier employee volunteers will participate in the tree planting activities around the world, doing our part to turn Carrier's purpose into action.
Trees play a critical role in the environment as natural cooling systems. Planting trees in specific areas on your property may help conserve energy and reduce home energy bills, specifically planting shade trees over patios, driveways and air-conditioning units.2
Large deciduous trees planted on the east, west and northwest sides of a house may reduce summer air conditioning costs by up to 35%.3
