Whirlpool Corporation

Whirlpool Corporation’s vision is to be the world’s best kitchen and laundry company, in constant pursuit of improving life at home. The company has committed to reduce its total GHG emissions by 50% within 10 years from a 2019 base year. This is in line with their global commitment to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2030 (Scope 1 & 2).

They plan to achieve the Better Climate Challenge reductions through a structured climate transition plan that includes the following steps to meet these targets:

Continuing manufacturing process improvements to drive energy efficiency
Investing in renewable energy both on and off-site
Driving energy efficiency and deep energy retrofits

For their 10 US production facilities, Whirlpool already has plans in place to implement 100% renewable energy sources (VPPA, PPA, and on-site) to account for all the US scope 2 emissions ahead of the 10-year timeline. In addition, they have set internal targets for each of the manufacturing sites to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
