Trane Technologies plc: 10-K Risk Factor Changes

We have previously announced certain defined sustainability commitments with a goal of achieving these commitments by 2030. We also periodically announce new initiatives and product innovations that further our sustainability commitments. We are on track with our climate commitment to offer a full line of next generation products by 2030 without compromising safety or energy efficiency. Additionally, in 2019, we announced our 2030 commitment which targets reducing one gigaton – one billion metric tons – of carbon emissions (CO2e) from our customers' footprint by 2030. While we are committed to pursuing these sustainability objectives, our ability to achieve our sustainability objectives is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including increased operating costs and future changes in regulation, and there can be no assurance that we will successfully achieve our commitments or that any future investments we make in furtherance of achieving our sustainability targets and goals will meet investor expectations or any future legal requirements regarding sustainability performance. If we are unable to meet our targets and goals, it could result in reputational and other harm to our company, adverse publicity and reaction from investors, activist groups and other stakeholders, which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Stakeholders are increasingly scrutinizing sustainability practices, and stakeholders' expectations regarding these practices are diverse and rapidly changing. Furthermore, many jurisdictions where we operate have enacted or are in the process of enacting legislation regarding sustainability reporting, monitoring, and other requirements. Failure to meet these evolving legal requirements may subject us to fines, penalties, or other legal obligations. 21 21 21 Table of Contents Table of Contents
