25 Apr 2026 CW Team

The report underscores the role of energy efficiency in driving both cost optimisation and decarbonisation across industries such as healthcare, advanced manufacturing and higher education.

“Our purpose is grounded in the belief that what we do matters for human society. In the mission‐critical environments we serve, performance, reliability and sustainability are foundational for the future,” said Joakim Weidemanis. “Our 2026 Sustainability Report shows that… we put energy efficiency to work to unlock growth opportunities and enable peak performance.”

Operationally, the company achieved a 46 per cent reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions since 2017 and a 33 per cent reduction in Scope 3 emissions from use of sold products—exceeding its 2030 target. Around 91 per cent of global electricity consumption is now met or matched with carbon-free energy.

Case studies highlighted include a US healthcare facility reducing heating fuel consumption by 69 per cent and saving up to $900,000 annually, and a district energy project in Germany supplying climate-neutral heat to 10,000 households.

Innovation remains central, with 77 per cent of new R&D in 2025 focused on sustainability. Technologies such as high-efficiency chillers, AI-enabled building systems and heat pumps are delivering up to 55 per cent emissions reduction and significant operational savings.

Katie McGinty, Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer, added, “Energy efficiency is one of the fastest ways to lower operating expenses, reduce emissions and improve performance at the same time.”

The report also highlights the company’s role in improving data centre efficiency, where advanced cooling and heat recovery solutions can reduce non-IT energy use by over 50 per cent, supporting the growing demands of AI-driven infrastructure.
