Carrier

Carrier's climate commitments are underpinned by Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated goals, aiming for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050.

In 2024, Carrier's total reported emissions were approximately 570.85 billion kg CO2e. This included around 147.34 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 236.19 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and about 570.46 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3. A significant portion of the Scope 3 emissions, approximately 541.05 billion kg CO2e, was attributed to the use of sold products.

Looking back, in 2023, Carrier reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 157.18 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions of about 214.12 million kg CO2e. Key Scope 3 categories in 2023 included approximately 597.96 billion kg CO2e from the use of sold products and around 29.87 billion kg CO2e from the end-of-life treatment of sold products.

Carrier has set ambitious near-term targets to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030, from a 2021 base year. Additionally, the company commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% within the same timeframe. These targets are consistent with reductions required to limit global warming to 1.5°C. For the long term, Carrier aims for a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2050, from a 2021 base year, supporting its overall net-zero commitment. The company also aims to achieve carbon neutrality in its operations by 2030 and reduce the carbon footprint of its customers by over 1 gigaton by the same year.
