DESCRIPTION:

SWORDS, Ireland, April 30, 2021 /3BL Media/ - Trane Technologies plc (NYSE:TT), released its 2020 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, Bold Action for a Sustainable Future, which highlights the company’s major sustainability achievements and contributions towards its ambitious science-based emission-reduction targets. During its first year operating as a global climate innovator, the company significantly reduced carbon emissions from its customers’ carbon footprints, aided pandemic recovery efforts through its expertise in indoor environmental quality and cold chain solutions, and advanced industry-leading diversity & inclusion efforts.

“2020 was an extraordinary year during which we launched our new company, built resilience through a global pandemic, and met or exceeded our sustainability goals,” said Mike Lamach, chairman and CEO for Trane Technologies. “We have put a stake in the ground with aggressive 2030 commitments, including our Gigaton Challenge, which commits to eliminating one gigaton of carbon emissions from our customers’ footprints. We are also leading by example with our commitments to achieving carbon neutral operations, gender parity in leadership, and workforce diversity reflective of our communities. It’s by challenging the status quo and taking decisive action now that we will create a sustainable future where communities thrive, where equality is foundational, and where the environment is protected for future generations.”
