Coca-Cola Commits To Climate-Friendly Refrigeration
The Coca-Cola Co. and its bottling partners announced that 100 percent of their new vending machines and coolers will be hydrofluorocarbon-free (HFC-free) by 2015. Coca-Cola is committing to use its scale to accelerate the transition to HFC-free refrigeration equipment. This announcement is a direct result of work with Greenpeace that began in 2000, and a demonstration that phasing out the use of HFCs is a tangible and near-term action corporations can take to protect the climate.
Muhtar Kent, Chairman & CEO of The Coca-Cola Co. said, “Our announcement demonstrates a commitment to use our influence in the marketplace to drive innovation and help shape a low-carbon future.”
In addition to its refrigerant gas commitment, Coca-Cola developed a proprietary energy management system (EMS) that delivers energy savings of up to 35 percent and has placed over 1.7 million of these units around the world.
