Awards for Environmental Leadership

Carrier’s efforts to create a better balance between our customers' needs for comfort and the environment's need for responsible consumption have been recognized on a national level via the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Stratospheric Ozone Protection Award and the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Award for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

Carrier’s EPA award recognizes exceptional contributions to global environmental protection and specifically cited "corporate leadership in product development and technology to phase out ozone-depleting substances." To alleviate stratospheric ozone depletion caused by the release of chlorine-based (CFC and HCFC) refrigerants, Carrier is focusing on developing products that use chlorine-free refrigerants.

The National Energy Award from the DOE recognizes those who have implemented energy-related measures that benefit the nation's environment, economy and security. The award specifically cited Carrier’s development of a pivotal technology breakthrough in centrifugal chiller design, using a patented turbine to achieve world-class energy efficiency with a chlorine-free refrigerant.

Carrier also holds a long list of environmental leadership awards from (state and local governments) and (private associations and organizations.)

The company is extremely proud of this record of accomplishment.
