Carrier Corp. Supporting a Sustainable World on the 25th
Discovery of the Ozone Hole Anniversary of the
Twenty-five years ago this month, three scientists published an article in Nature magazine alerting the world to the discovery of a hole in the Earth’s stratospheric ozone layer. This discovery triggered action by governments, industry, and environmentalists around the world and contributed to the Montreal Protocol agreeing to phase-out the production and consumption of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) used as refrigerants in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Carrier Corp.

the phase-out of CFCs for the air conditioning and refrigeration industry in 1994, two years ahead of U.S. requirements and 16 years before mandates in developing countries. Since then, Carrier has continued to develop cutting-edge sustainable products and solutions and has been recognized for its leadership in environmental stewardship. Carrier Corp., a world leader in heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration solutions, is a unit of United Technologies Corp. “Life on Earth only began once the ozone
layer was in place to shield harmful radiation from the sun,” explains John Mandyck, Carrier’s vice president for Sustainability & Environmental Strategies.“The discovery of ozone depletion and the rapid response by governments and industry around the world are widely credited with averting a global environmental and health crisis. We congratulate the Montreal Protocol for its great success.” “Carrier is proud to have done its part in
leading the air conditioning and refrigeration industry to a non-ozone depleting future,” added Geraud Darnis, president of Carrier Corp. Carrier continues its commitment to
sustainability today with the development of next generation systems using refrigerants that further reduce environmental impact. “Carrier has the right refrigerant solution
refrigeration system uses natural refrigerant carbon dioxide and is installed at more than 100 sites across Europe. The system delivers up to 10% higher energy
for every application, but every application will not have the same refrigerant solution,” says Mandyck. For example, Carrier’s CO2

Carrier are equivalent to removing 10,800 cars from the road.
