THE INVENTOR OF

ed in market-leading innovations that have shaped and defined the heating,
air conditioning and refrigeration industry.

 MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER
PLACE TO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY
Our mission is to make the world a better place. This mission dates back more
than a hundred years to when Willis Carrier invented the basics of modern air
conditioning and developed the first air conditioning system.
Since then we have worked to create a comfortable, productive and healthy
indoor environment, regardless of the weather. We have also made great
progress in ensuring that food and other perishables are transported and pre-
served for safe consumption.
In enhancing our safety and comfort, we never forget our responsibility to pre-
serving the global environment. Carrier was the first air conditioning manu-
facturer to use non-ozone depleting chlorine-free refrigerants.
In recognition of our commitment to developing products for a safer, cleaner
and less polluted planet, Carrier received the prestigious Ozone Protection
Award from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Today, Carrier is the worlds largest provider of heating, air conditioning and
refrigeration solutions.
