Trane Technologies Recognized as One of the World’s Most Sustainable Companies by TIME

Trane Technologies, the global climate innovator and parent company of Trane®, has earned a place on TIME’s inaugural list of the World’s Most Sustainable Companies. This recognition highlights the company’s unwavering commitment to advancing sustainable practices, corporate responsibility, and social stewardship. The list, developed in collaboration with Statista, celebrates organizations that prioritize sustainability while fostering positive environmental and social impacts.

A Leader in Climate Action

“It’s a tremendous honor to be included on TIME’s inaugural list of the World’s Most Sustainable Companies,” said Paul Camuti, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology and Sustainability Officer at Trane Technologies. “Sustainability is at the center of our strategy and is integrated into every aspect of our business. The urgent need for climate action is clear, and so is our purpose to boldly challenge what’s possible for a sustainable world.”

Through innovative solutions and industry-leading initiatives, Trane Technologies is tackling some of the most pressing climate challenges. The company is focused on decarbonizing buildings, industries, and the cold chain, while advancing its ambitious 2030 Sustainability Commitments, including the groundbreaking Gigaton Challenge and a pledge to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

Verified Climate Commitments

Trane Technologies is the first in its industry to have both near- and long-term emissions reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). This external validation underscores the company’s credibility and dedication to meaningful climate action.
