March 19, 2026 /3BL/ - Trane Technologies (NYSE:TT), a global climate innovator, has been recognized for excellence in both ethical leadership and stakeholder engagement, earning designation as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies® by Ethisphere for the third consecutive year and recognition as the top-performing company in the Construction & Materials industry in Just Capital’s Best of American Business rankings.
“We are honored to once again be recognized by Ethisphere and Just Capital and included among these prestigious lists of companies that lead by example,” said Dave Regnery, chair and CEO of Trane Technologies. “These awards reflect the outstanding work of our teams around the world, who lead with integrity, champion sustainability and uphold trust as a foundational element of our culture. As we continue to innovate for a more sustainable future, doing what is right for our people, customers and planet remains central to who we are.”
Ethisphere’s World’s Most Ethical Companies® list is based on the organization’s proprietary Ethics Quotient®, which requires companies to provide more than 240 documented proof points demonstrating ethics and compliance practices. This comprehensive methodology identifies, evaluates and codifies leading global standards in ethics and compliance. This year, 138 honorees were recognized, representing 17 countries and 40 distinct industries.
“Congratulations to Trane Technologies for achieving recognition as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies®,” said Erica Salmon Byrne, Ethisphere’s Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Chair. “As we mark the 20th class of honorees, this group continues to raise the bar for business integrity by embedding ethics into everyday decision-making and long-term strategy. Companies with strong ethics, compliance and governance programs are built for better long-term performance.”
Just Capital’s rankings evaluate U.S. companies on performance across issues most important to stakeholders, including workers, customers, communities, the environment and governance. The 2026 Industry Leaders ranking exemplifies how fostering trust among employees, customers, communities and shareholders creates both competitive differentiation and societal value.
“Trane Technologies and all 2026 Industry Leaders are proving that smart stakeholder investments don’t require a trade-off with strong financial performance. Rather, they’re a pathway for America’s leading companies to compete and win in an AI-driven marketplace,” said Just Capital CEO Martin Whittaker.
Trane Technologies is known for transparency, credibility and accountability, and these awards further recognize the company’s strong ethical performance and reputation. Earlier this year, the company was named to Fortune’s World’s Most Admired Companies list for the 14th consecutive year and CDP’s A List for the fourth straight year.
