o Lower emissions in our fridges
100% of
purchased fridges
are green. Reduce
the CO2 emissions
of our fridges by
50%
Achieved
We began our journey to reduce the carbon
footprint of our fridges through the Green
Cooling programme in 2010. It set a new
standard for cooling by phasing out HFCs,
improving fridge specifications and shifting
away from using open front fridges.
In 2020, 100% of the fridges we purchased had
one or more of the required features: use of
hydrocarbon refrigerant; LED illumination; an
energy management system; and/or energy
efficient fans.
Average CO2 emissions from our fridges is
now over 55% less than in 2010.
Managing the lifecycle of our equipment
and limiting waste is an ongoing priority.
This includes optimising demand for new
coolers, ensuring that coolers are kept
in use for as long as possible and that they
are refurbished or upgraded where feasible.
Ensuring the right coolers in the right outlet
Our newly introduced cooler allocation tool
enables us to effectively deploy coolers in
selected markets.
Our contribution
to the SDGs:

Double the

Refurbished fridges in the Netherlands
In the Netherlands, we have worked
with our supplier in charge of fridge
maintenance and refurbishment to
introduce a 'refurbish first' policy with
all our partners.
The aim is to re-use fridges, where
economically and environmentally viable,
before buying a new one. If a refurbished
fridge cannot be placed with a customer in
the Netherlands, it is listed on the second
hand Asset Marketplace to be used by
another operating company.
In the first two years, 1,211 fridges were
refurbished - 543 in 2019 and 668 in 2020*
(+23%). This represents a reduction of more
than 80% of planned fridge purchases
in 2021.
as of Q3 2020
Refurbishing and reusing fridges
We promote reuse and redeployment of
fridges to save resources and reduce waste.
We have launched a second hand Asset
Marketplace and introduced a 'refurbish first'
approach to keep coolers with minor defects
in use for as long as possible.
End of life management
We work with manufacturers to collect fridges
and reuse of spare parts and components such
as glass doors and shelves in new fridges.

We will reduce our cooling carbon
footprint even more by working with
suppliers to develop the sustainable cooler
of the future. We have set a new energy
efficiency standard for any new fridge
purchased from 2021 and will leverage
technology and local partner capability
to evolve the management of our fleet
of coolers.
To optimise demand for new coolers,
we will ensure they are kept in use for
as long as possible at our managed
outlets and refurbish and upgrade them
wherever possible.
