Carrier’s Response to COVID-19

The world abruptly and irrevocably changed in December, 2019. We did, too. As COVID-19 impacted China and then one country after another, Carrier swiftly took action to ensure continued support for our people, our customers and our communities.

Across our facilities worldwide, the health, safety and well-being of our employees and business partners remained of paramount importance and drove a comprehensive set of actions to establish a new way of operating, a new normal. These included limiting travel, deploying an enhanced hygiene program across our global operations, establishing clear guidelines for employees who might feel ill, restricting access to our facilities, and enhanced remote access for those sheltering in place.

At the same time, we remained laser-focused on innovating to deliver safe and healthy environments for our customers. From the rapid innovation of Carrier’s OptiClean negative air machine to help hospitals fight the virus to the launch of Carrier’s Healthy Buildings Program, our solutions are essential to healthy living.

In our communities we are working closely with our nonprofit community partners to understand their immediate needs and how we can help. Across the United States, India, Europe and China we have provided personal protective equipment (PPE) for healthcare workers, hospitals and service technicians. As millions of people are struggling from food insecurity during COVID-19, we are supporting organizations like Feeding America and its increased need for refrigerated transport and storage units for its network of food banks. As homes have become classrooms, we are collaborating with The Nature Conservancy to help students discover the natural world virtually through the support of Nature Lab, an online curriculum program for teachers and families.

That is what The Carrier Way is all about – creating solutions that matter to people and our planet, even in the most unprecedented of times. To learn more about all the actions we have taken, visit Carrier’s COVID response page on corporate.carrier.com.
