Trane Technologies Outlines Transition Plan to Achieve Net-Zero Targets by 2050

SWORDS, Ireland, May 11, 2023 /3BL Media/ - Trane Technologies (NYSE: TT), a global climate innovator, has released a first look at its Net-Zero Roadmap to decarbonize across its entire value chain by 2050. In 2022, Trane Technologies became the first in its industry – and one of the first companies in the world – to have its net-zero carbon emissions targets approved by the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).

Trane Technologies’ Net-Zero Roadmap and the company’s advancements toward its 2030 Sustainability Commitments are included in its 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report: Ambition. Action. Impact.

“Sustainability is core to our strategy, and its success shows in our superior financial performance,” said Dave Regnery, chair and CEO of Trane Technologies. “Our relentless focus on innovation accelerates the decarbonization of buildings, industry, and the cold chain. The result is superior value creation for our team, customers, shareholders, and the planet.”

Trane Technologies continues to set the precedent for industry-leading sustainability and transparency with its Net-Zero Roadmap. The transition plan outlines the steps the company is taking to achieve its SBTi-validated net-zero carbon target. Actions include expanding the use of renewable energy at its facilities, increasing efficiency across its operations, transitioning to low-global warming potential refrigerants, electrifying its fleet of vehicles, accelerating the electrification of heating and cooling through innovative technologies and solutions, and more.

“Trane Technologies was an early leader in decarbonizing its business,” said Glenn Prickett, President & CEO of the World Environment Center. “We are thrilled to see the company take the lead again in laying out a concrete roadmap to achieve their net-zero ambition. Other global companies would do well to follow Trane Technologies’ lead.”

Notable advancements made in 2022 toward Trane Technologies’ 2030 Sustainability Commitments (all as compared to 2019 baseline):

• Gigaton Challenge: Reduced 93 million metric tons of carbon – equivalent to the emissions generated from 10.3 billion gallons of gasoline – from customers’ emissions, toward the Gigaton Challenge – a pledge to reduce one billion metric tons of carbon from emissions by 2030.
• Carbon Neutrality Progress: Reduced operational (Scope 1 and 2) emissions by 31%, on track toward reaching science-based target of 50% reduction by 2030 and goal of achieving carbon neutral operations across the company’s footprint.
