Climate Policy

Carrier supports climate policies that will drive the transition to low carbon economies. That transition will vary by country and region. In Europe, for example, Carrier supports the 2050 decarbonization policies that achieve deep energy reductions in buildings. In the United States, Carrier is helping to advance climate policy through its membership in the CEO Climate Dialogue and its six principles.

Carrier Transicold & Refrigeration Systems President David Appel discussed the sustainable cold chain and how it can cut food loss and waste during a roundtable session in front of nearly 200 nations at the 31st Meeting of the Parties of the Montreal Protocol.

Sustainable Cold Chain

It takes more than one company or industry working on its own to succeed in expanding the cold chain. That is why we bring together brilliant minds from around the globe and across disciplines to discuss, debate and inspire. Together, we have made progress – and we are making food waste part of the global dialogue.

• World Cold Chain Summit: Founded by Carrier in 2014, the World Cold Chain Summit to Reduce Food Loss & Waste convenes food industry thought leaders and experts in a collaborative environment with the goal of developing opportunities for quantifiable reductions in global food waste, extending global and regional food supplies, and helping to feed and sustain a growing global population.

• Global Food Cold Chain Council: As a founding member of the Global Food Cold Chain Council, Carrier has taken an active role in the council’s mission to reduce food waste and related GHG emissions while expanding energy-efficient, low-global warming potential technology.

• United Nations Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol: Carrier was among the roundtable participants that signed the Rome Declaration on the Contribution of the Montreal Protocol to Food Loss Reduction through Sustainable Cold Chain Development, which stresses the importance of pursuing international cooperation and promoting the exchange of information on the contribution of the cold chain to sustainable development.
