SWORDS, Ireland–(BUSINESS WIRE)–For the seventh consecutive year, Ingersoll Rand (NYSE:IR), a world
leader in creating comfortable, sustainable and efficient environments,
has been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability World and North America
Indices. Continued placement on this index series showcases the
company’s position as an economic, environmental and social leader among
peer companies.

Ingersoll Rand products and services heat, cool and automate homes and
buildings; enhance commercial and industrial productivity; keep

pressing global trends that impact the way we live, work and move.
That’s why our focus on business, social and environmental

Dow Jones Sustainability World and North America Indices over the past
seven years is an honor, and recognizes the longstanding positive impact
our people have on the world.”

for investors who integrate sustainability considerations into their
portfolios, and provide an effective engagement platform for companies
who want to adopt sustainable best practices.

Ingersoll Rand Climate Commitment
Ingersoll
Rand made a commitment to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions from its products and operations by 2030. The company’s
Climate Commitment pledges to:

• Cut the refrigerant GHG footprint of its products by 50 percent by
  2020 and incorporate lower global warming potential (GWP) alternatives
  across its portfolio by 2030;
• Invest $500 million in product-related research and development over
  the next five years to fund the long-term reduction of GHG emissions;
