decarbonization leadership

BEACH GARDENS, Fla., June 13,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Carrier Global
Corporation (NYSE: CARR), global leader in intelligent climate
and energy solutions, today announced its ambitious greenhouse gas
emission reduction goals, including a target to reach net-zero
greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, have been validated by the
Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). A corporate climate
action organization, SBTi enables companies and financial
institutions worldwide to play their part in combating the climate
crisis.
SBTi's Target Validation Team has validated Carrier's near- and
long-term greenhouse gas emission reduction goals as in line with a
trajectory to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Carrier's specific
SBTi-validated targets are:
- Reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 42% by 2030
from a 2021 base year.
- Reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 25% within the same
timeframe.
- Reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain
by 2050.
"Having our climate and net-zero targets validated by SBTi's
comprehensive process confirms that Carrier is doing our part to
address climate change," said Hakan
Yilmaz, Senior Vice President, Chief Technology &
Sustainability Officer, Carrier. "The heating and cooling of
buildings and homes, together with food waste, contribute an
estimated 25% of annual carbon emissions and play a significant
role in global warming and climate change. Our industry has both
the opportunity and the obligation to be part of the solution. As
we continue to distinguish ourselves as a climate and energy
solutions leader, we are strategically transforming our portfolio
through electrification, integration and resilience and helping our
customers achieve their sustainability goals."
The SBTi targets advance Carrier's goal of helping customers
avoid more than 1 gigaton of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and
further support decarbonization efforts. In accordance with these
targets, Carrier unveiled its road map to achieve net-zero
greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050.
Carrier's products, services and digital capabilities help
customers meet their energy, carbon and food-waste reduction goals.
Energy-efficient heat pumps, all-electric refrigeration and
building solutions, lower GWP refrigerants and connected
technologies are just a few of the ways Carrier is improving
efficiencies in buildings, in homes and across the cold chain.
