This new program focuses on a health-first cold chain in four areas:
- Food & Medicine Security: Addressing cold chain challenges with refrigeration technology from farm to fork and production to patient
- Safe Vaccine Distribution: Protecting the temperature-controlled distribution of vaccines
- Connected Cold Chain: Enhancing end-to-end cold chain visibility and intelligence with digital solutions
- Sustainable Cold Chain: Reducing loss, waste and environmental impact across the cold chain

Carrier is in a position to address current and emerging cold chain challenges with an installed base of 1.2 million transport refrigeration units, more than 50,000 commercial refrigeration installations and comprehensive cargo monitoring capabilities including real-time solutions, theft prevention, thermal mapping solutions and logistics optimization.
Carrier continues to advance its digital capabilities, telematics and remote-monitoring offerings that deliver insights and connectivity across the cold chain.
Carrier's products and services are designed with a dedication to sustainability and include a suite of transport and retail units that use the natural refrigerant carbon dioxide, with a low global warming potential (GWP) of 1, as well as high-efficiency solar charging systems for trailer refrigeration units. In November 2019, Carrier signed the "Rome Declaration" on the Contribution of the Montréal Protocol to Food Loss Reduction through Sustainable Cold Chain Development, tying food loss and waste to climate change.
