OUR COMMUNITIES

Carrier supports charitable organizations that seek to increase the resiliency of communities in addressing the physical and transitional impacts associated with extreme heat. Carrier is working with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant 5 million trees by 2030, helping to mitigate extreme heat and create cooler communities. In addition to the largescale reforestation projects, employee volunteers will participate in tree plantings around the world, turning Carrier’s purpose into action.

Carrier is also supporting C40 Cities, a global network of nearly 100 cities and mayors, with a three-year grant to promote sustainable cooling solutions in buildings and neighborhoods.

We design and manufacture technologies that transport fresh food from farm to market, and we work closely with organizations that focus on reducing food waste and improving the cold chain. We teamed up with other leading companies to support the United Nations World Food Programme’s development of an innovative Transport Training Centre in Ghana that includes cold chain trainings.

Additionally, we are collaborating with the Africa Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Cooling and Cold Chain (part of The Clean Cooling Network) in East Africa by providing transport refrigeration units, connected cold chain solutions and training.

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), Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning (HVAC) and Refrigeration, and trade technician education and career development.

Partnering with organizations like FIRST™, a global youth robotics organization, 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.

Carrier is also continuing to create a pipeline of future HVAC technicians through a collaboration with the Building Talent Foundation. The programs promote careers in the trades, align training with industry needs and persistent talent shortages, and build engagement through career advancement opportunities.

Each year, Carrier donates to and 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 the places we call home. Our company has provided local Habitat for Humanity organizations with financial support, product donations and employee volunteer hours.

We have supported organizations focused on hunger relief like Feeding America and the European Food Banks Federation by expanding capacity for rescuing more perishable food for its network of food banks.

Carrier also donated over $2.5 million in indoor air purifiers to help improve air quality for the communities most impacted by the wildfires in California.

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 1:1 charitable donation matching program designed to extend the impact of all eligible, full-time Carrier employees’ donations to qualified non-profit organizations, our global employees have the opportunity to make a difference in their communities.

The Carrier Foundation was established in 2021. Carrier supports organizations that promote planet, people and communities in which we live, work and operate. The foundation also funds Carrier’s global Matching Gifts program.
