The seventh Chilling Facts report, 22 retailers submitted data covering the 2015 calendar year from supermarkets across 37 countries. Our findings show that the uptake of hydrofluorocarbon-free technology is well under way across the EU, with CO2 transcritical systems spreading eastward and southward throughout Europe
A briefing produced for the 60th Global Summit of the Consumer Goods Forum, from 15-17 June 2016 in South Africa. Since 2010 there has been a dramatic shift in the availability and effectiveness of hydrofluorocarbon-free technologies, allowing progressive companies to significantly reduce their carbon footprint
A report prepared for the 36th Open-Ended Working Group of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol in Paris, France, from 20-24 July 2015. We urge the Parties to form a contact group at the 36th OEWG to begin negotiations on the text of an amendment to phase down the production and consumption of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
In this report, we reveal that the take-up of climate-friendly refrigeration by supermarket chains is spreading faster and more widely than ever. We are concerned that major retailers are missing an easy climate win and the chance to significantly lower their energy bills, by not fitting doors on refrigeration units
The latest of our annual reports focusing on the use of climate-damaging refrigerants in major supermarket chains and progress to move away from harmful HFCs to climate-friendly alternatives. Chilling Facts IV finds 344 stores have now made the transition, with thousands of engineers trained to service them
