PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Carrier Global Corp. was awarded the Gold Medal for International Corporate Achievement in Sustainable Development by the World Environment Center (WEC) earlier this month. Past award winners of the global competition include Microsoft, Walmart, IBM, and Starbucks.
“Carrier is honored to be recognized by the prestigious World Environment Center for our progress and commitment to sustainability,” said Carrier chairman and CEO David Gitlin. “We are strategically innovating and expanding our portfolio of solutions through electrification, energy efficiency, and digitally enabled lifecycle solutions to help our customers avoid more than one gigaton of carbon emissions by 2030. At Carrier, our 50,000 team members remain committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible and setting new standards for sustainable development.”
The award was presented November 13 in Washington, D.C., by GE Aerospace chairman and CEO H. Lawrence Culp Jr.
“I am pleased to see David and the Carrier team receive this prestigious award,” said Culp. “Carrier’s dedication to shaping a more sustainable future and its ongoing investments in innovative, energy-efficient solutions are raising the bar in climate leadership.”
The WEC’s Gold Medal for International Corporate Achievement in Sustainable Development, awarded annually since 1985, honors a global company that has integrated sustainability into its business practices, created ground-breaking solutions to critical environmental and social challenges, and demonstrated global leadership to accelerate progress toward a sustainable future. An independent jury of sustainability experts selects the gold medalist from among nominated companies invited to apply for the award.
