Reaching the 1 million trees milestone
Carrier Global Corporation celebrated Earth Day by announcing progress toward its commitment to plant 5 million trees by 2030. In partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, the company reached a landmark by funding 1 009 514 trees in 2025.
Sustainability program
The initiative is part of the program “For the air we breathe and the world we share.” It focuses on nature-based solutions to improve air quality, restore habitats, and increase climate resilience in environmentally degraded areas.
Projects in the first year of the five-year plan
