A Legacy of Innovation, A Future of Impact: Carrier Releases 2025 Sustainability and Impact Report
Carrier Global, 2025 Sustainability and Impact Report

For more than 123 years, Carrier has helped shape how the world lives, works and grows — from inventing modern air conditioning to leading the next era of intelligent climate and energy solutions.
 
Today, that legacy continues with a clear purpose: enhancing the lives we live and the world we share. And in a time of record temperatures and soaring energy demand, that purpose has never mattered more.
 
Carrier is meeting this challenge with intelligent solutions that bring comfort, efficiency and safety to homes, hospitals, data centers and logistics networks around the world.
 
Carrier’s 2025 Sustainability and Impact Report outlines our measurable progress — from investing in climate and energy innovation to supporting our workforce and partnering with communities around the world.
 
Advancing Our Commitments
 
In 2024, we completed a defining portfolio transformation with the acquisition of Viessmann Climate Solutions, a company with more than a century of innovation in sustainable technologies. This move sharpened our focus on sustainable, end-to-end systems across the built environment and cold chain — aligning our portfolio with global trends like electrification, digitalization and the growing demand for climate control.
 
Since 2020, Carrier has invested $1.6 billion in sustainable R&D — on track to exceed our $4 billion commitment by 2030. These investments are enabling innovation at scale. In just five years, our technologies have helped customers avoid more than 490 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
 
In 2025, we announced a $1 billion commitment to U.S. manufacturing and workforce development. This investment includes the construction of a state-of-the art manufacturing facility and is expected to create thousands of skilled jobs across advanced manufacturing, field service and research and development.
 
As part of this commitment, we also launched TechVantage — a five-year initiative to hire 1,000 service technicians and train more than 100,000 HVAC field and sales professionals across Carrier and our extended ecosystem.
 
Innovating for Impact
 
Innovation powers our progress. In 2024, we launched Carrier Energy, a startup business within Carrier dedicated to developing intelligent, grid-interactive energy solutions. Its first major offering — the Home Energy Management System (HEMS) — is being positioned to transform residential HVAC systems into smart energy assets that can store energy and shift usage to off-peak periods. This approach is designed to help ease grid strain and maintain homeowner comfort during periods of high demand, supporting a more resilient and flexible energy ecosystem.
 
Empowering Our People and Communities
 
Carrier’s global team drives our purpose forward. Through expanded workforce education, apprenticeships and senior leadership development programs like Catalyst, we’re preparing our people for the future of energy and innovation.
 
Since 2020, our employee engagement and inclusion scores have risen by seven and eight points, respectively. In 2024, we exceeded global benchmarks for the third consecutive year — a reflection of the culture we’re building together through The Carrier Way.
 
We’re also investing in communities through global partnerships. In 2024, we announced a multi-year, more than $1 million grant to C40 Cities to promote sustainable cooling in select cities worldwide. Through this work, we’re helping develop climate cooling roadmaps that prioritize access, resilience and readiness.
 
As part of our collaboration with the Arbor Day Foundation, Carrier also pledged to plant five million trees by 2030. This initiative helps support improved air quality and helps drive meaningful impact for forest ecosystems and communities for generations to come.
 
And during Climate Week NYC, we amplified our voice on global platforms — collaborating and advocating for practical, scalable approaches to decarbonizing the built environment and accelerating action through public-private collaboration.
 
Looking Ahead
 
With a world-class team, a differentiated portfolio and a bold brand identity aligned to our vision, Carrier is well-positioned to lead amid some of the world’s most pressing climate and energy challenges.
 
We are proud of the progress we’ve made — and even more energized by what lies ahead.
 
Together, we are building a better, more sustainable future for the world we share.
