Our ESG Progress: By the Numbers

From pioneering temperature control in buildings in the late 19th century to developing industrial-grade software that enables leaders to maintain and monitor critical infrastructure – tackling some of the world’s toughest challenges through innovation has been at the core of our business for more than 100 years.

Our 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report highlights the progress we’ve made so far toward meeting our corporate sustainability pledges, establishing programs to strengthen our communities and upholding the highest standards of accountability in all areas of our operations.
