"We're thrilled to be recognized as one of America's Most Responsible Companies for the sixth year in a row," said Marc Bitzer, chairman and CEO of Whirlpool Corporation. "Guided by values that have shaped us for over a century, we're incredibly proud of the initiatives that support our communities and the progress made reducing our environmental impact."
In 2024, Whirlpool Corporation continued reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and began a new collaboration with The Washing Machine Project to bring manual washing machines to low income and displaced communities without reliable access to water and electricity. The company also celebrated 25 years of working with Habitat for Humanity International to help improve lives and increase access to safe, resilient and affordable homes in communities around the world, including a renewed commitment to continue Habitat's BuildBetter with Whirlpool program by building an additional 50 net-zero-energy-ready homes in the next two years.
Earlier this year, the company also introduced SlimTech™ insulation technology, a breakthrough in refrigeration that can deliver benefits ranging from increased capacity and quieter performance to the potential for increased sustainability and design flexibility.
