OUR COMMUNITIES

Carrier is committed to making the world safer and more comfortable for generations to come. As we innovate to solve for the planet’s critical challenges, making a positive impact in our communities around the world is core to our purpose.

In 2021, Carrier supported more than 200 civic, cultural, economic and social welfare organizations around the world. We invested over $6 million in our communities through cash and in-kind donations, including over $1.2 million through the Carrier Employee Matching Gifts Program, a dollar-for-dollar charitable donation program.

Sustainable Urbanization

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.
