Environmental award for Carrier

The awards presentation, held in Montreal, coincided with the 20th anniversary of the United Nations Montreal Protocol, which calls for a global elimination of ozone-depleting substances such as chlorofluorcarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) used in air-conditioning and refrigeration products.

“We are truly honoured that EPA recognised Carrier’s environmental leadership with such a prestigious award,” said John Mandyck, Carrier’s vice president of government and international relations, who accepted the award.

Headquartered in Farmington, Connecticut, Carrier is a unit of United Technologies Corp., the world’s largest provider of heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration solutions. It is the parent company of Carrier Transicold, which provides industry-leading transport temperature control and anti-idling solutions with a complete line of equipment for refrigerated trucks, trailers and containers, among other products.
