OUR COMMUNITIES

We promote environmental responsibility through sustainable building practices in urban areas, including climate resiliency, energy efficiency and water conservation. That’s why we support charitable organizations that seek to increase the resiliency of communities in addressing the physical and transitional impacts associated with climate change, such as The Nature Conservancy’s initiatives that help cities around the world become more resilient to meet the challenges of a changing climate.

We are focused on making our communities safer, and that is exactly what Kidde is doing through its Operation Save a Life program. In 2019, Kidde donated more than 90,000 alarms in 19 cities across the United States. Throughout its more than 20-year history, Kidde has donated 1.6 million smoke and carbon monoxide alarms to fire departments.

We design and manufacture technologies that transport fresh food from farms to markets, and we support organizations that focus on eliminating hunger. Through a grant program established in 2017 with the Feeding America Network, Carrier Transicold has helped more than 20 food banks across the United States to purchase truck and trailer refrigeration equipment, delivering more fresh food to people in need.

We believe that building a brighter future begins with inspiring people of all ages today. That’s why we invest in the next generation of innovators. Our employees have a particular interest in supporting skills-based volunteerism, focused on partnerships with leading nonprofits in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). Partnering with organizations like FIRST robotics, our employees have dedicated thousands of hours mentoring and inspiring thousands of students who aspire to be the next generation of engineers, scientists and advanced manufacturing professionals.

Each year, Carrier volunteers with local organizations in the communities where we live and work. Thanks to the expertise, creativity and passion of our employees, we are making a difference in all of the places we call home. Since 1994, our employees have helped build more than 140 Habitat for Humanity® homes around the world, including the U.S., South Africa and the Philippines. And Carrier’s Green Shoots program connects employee volunteers with local classrooms to teach interactive science and health classes, enhancing environmental stewardship and healthy living habits.

Our employees are a force for good, supporting the communities where they live and work through volunteerism, but also by contributing financially. Through the Carrier Matching Gifts Program, a dollar-for-dollar charitable donation matching program designed to extend the impact of Carrier employees’ donations to qualified non-profit organizations, our employees have the opportunity to make a difference in their communities. Since 2016, Carrier employees have raised more than $3 million for non-profit organizations of their choosing through the program.
