Safety You Can Trust. Performance You Can Count On.

You rely on us to protect your product and keep it moving without disruption. That level of consistency depends on how we operate every day.

In the cold chain, safety and operational discipline are closely connected. The same practices that protect our associates also reduce variability, prevent disruptions, and ensure product moves through our network as expected.

Safety Drives Reliability

We’ve seen that connection play out in our results. From 2023 to 2025, Americold reduced incident rates by nearly 30%. Today, we continue to outperform industry benchmarks by a wide margin – 44% lower on TRIR and DART, and 56% lower on LTIR.

For your business, that translates to:

  • Fewer operational interruptions
  • More consistent throughput
  • Greater predictability across your supply chain

A Disciplined, Systemwide Approach

These outcomes are driven by a structured, network-wide approach to how we operate.

Across our facilities, we reinforce consistent execution through:

  • Monthly safety and food safety training
  • Behavioral-based coaching and site-level accountability
  • Rigorous inspections and contractor standards

We’ve also expanded the use of advanced tools to strengthen performance, including:

  • AI-enabled hazard identification
  • Cold-ready, reliability-focused equipment
  • Voice-enabled workflows that reduce variability in execution

Each of these investments is designed with a clear outcome in mind: improving how product moves through our network safely, efficiently, and without interruption.

Raising the Bar

Sustaining this level of performance requires continuous focus and investment.

We’re proud of the progress our teams have made, and we remain focused on strengthening the systems, tools, and behaviors that support reliable execution in high-volume, complex environments.

For our customers, that means a supply chain partner you can depend on – one that delivers with consistency, precision, and care.
