At Trane Technologies, we recognize that our business activities contribute to climate change. We believe every business, including our own, should help mitigate negative environmental impacts. We use the latest climate science to inform our mitigation strategies and challenge ourselves to shape a better world.

Our 2030 Sustainability Commitments

The ambitious sustainability commitments we’ve set to achieve by 2030 encompass all aspects of our business operations and guide our efforts in addressing climate change, investing in innovation, nurturing an engaging and inclusive culture and expanding our citizenship efforts. 

  • We commit to reducing one billion metric tons of carbon emissions from our customer footprint by 2030 through our Gigaton Challenge. 
  • We commit to Leading by Example through responsible operations. 
  • And we commit to creating Opportunity for All by taking care of our employees and supporting the communities we serve.

Our science-based targets

Our ambitious approach to creating solutions that address climate change has guided us in setting transformational emissions reduction targets that were among the first in our industry - and across all sectors - to be approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), including our goals to: 

  • Reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% below 2019 levels by 2030; 
  • Reduce Scope 3 emissions by 55% per thermal ton below 2019 levels by 2030; and
  • Reach net-zero GHG emissions across our value chain by 2050 from a 2019 baseline. 

Our science-based targets align with the Paris Agreement’s net-zero targets, which limit global temperature rise to no more than 1.5°C.

Net-Zero roadmap

Our 2030 Commitments reflect the actions we are taking now to bend the curve on climate change, but our efforts won't stop there. Our Net-Zero roadmap represents our decarbonization transition plan to achieve net-zero emissions across our value chain by 2050.
