OUR COMMUNITIES

We promote environmental responsibility through sustainable building practices in urban areas, including climate resiliency, energy efficiency and water conservation. That’s why we support charitable organizations that seek to increase the resiliency of communities in addressing the physical and transitional impacts associated with climate change.

We design and manufacture technologies that transport fresh food from farm to market, and we work closely with organizations that focus on hunger relief, reducing food waste and improving the cold chain. We have supported organizations like Feeding America and the European Food Banks Federation through a grant program to help address the increased need for refrigerated transport and storage units for its network of food banks. We also teamed up with other leading companies to support the United Nations World Food Programme’s development of an innovative Transport Training Centre in Ghana that includes cold chain trainings.

We believe that building a brighter future begins with inspiring people of all ages today. That’s why we invest in the next generation of innovators. Our employees have a particular interest in supporting skills-based volunteerism, focused on partnerships with leading nonprofits in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, and trade technician education and career development. Partnering with organizations like FIRST™, a global youth robotics organization, our employees have dedicated thousands of hours mentoring and inspiring thousands of students who aspire to be the next generation of engineers, scientists and advanced manufacturing professionals.

Each year, Carrier volunteers with local organizations in the communities where we live and work. Thanks to the expertise, creativity, and passion of our employees, we are making a difference in all of the places we call home. Our company has provided local Habitat for Humanity organizations with financial support, product donations and countless employee volunteer hours. In 2023, more than 650 employees participated in Habitat home builds and volunteer projects across the United States and Japan.

Our employees are a force for good, supporting the communities where they live and work through volunteerism, but also by contributing financially. Through the Carrier Matching Gifts Program, a dollar-for-dollar charitable donation matching program designed to extend the impact of all full-time, U.S. Carrier employees’ donations to qualified non-profit organizations, our employees have the opportunity to make a difference in their communities.

The Carrier Foundation was established in 2021. Carrier supports organizations that promote planet, people and communities in which we live, work and operate. The foundation also funds Carrier’s Matching Gifts program.
