Carrier Global strengthens climate goals

Carrier Global announced plans to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Science Based Targets initiative to limit global warming to 1.5 C. These new goals, including a net zero target, will build on Carrier’s previous, ambitious 2030 Environmental, Social & Governance goals, and further support decarbonization efforts. Carrier is now targeting net-zero GHG emissions across its value chain by 2050, complementing its existing goal of helping its customers avoid more than 1 gigaton of GHG emissions by 2030. The company’s comprehensive sustainability strategy addresses scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, covering enterprise-wide direct and indirect emissions. Near- and long-term goals addressing Carrier’s scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions will be developed and published in accordance with the SBTi validation process.
