Committed to Environmental Best Practices
Creating ideal environments within our facilities is the epitome of what we do, so environmental stewardship is foundational to us and our operational principles. We implement energy management best practices in our facilities around the globe, driving sustainability from the ground up. From energy efficient building designs and layouts, to waste walks, Associate efficiency coaching, water conservation actions, supporting local recycling programs, and more are integrated into our practices and operations to evolve standard processes and continually improve our performance across our network.

At Americold, we’re using the latest energy management technology to keep operations at the highest levels of efficiency.
We use real-time metering and monitoring tools at more than 90 percent of our facilities. And where available, we participate in utility demand-response programs – lowering emissions and helping to reduce our carbon footprint. It’s all part of our commitment to energy sustainability, to you, and to a healthy planet.
