The report highlights that as of September 2010, the company had placed 127,191 HFC-free refrigeration units in 2010, bringing the total to more than 240,000 units placed since 2006.
The report also underlines that the company has invested more than $60 million in research and development to advance the use of climate-friendly cooling technologies.
The efforts are in line with the company’s pledge to transition to 100% HFC-free equipment for all new coolers and vending machines by the end of 2015, a move that is projected to result in emission reductions that will exceed 52.5 million metric tons over the life of the equipment, which is the equivalent of taking more than 11 million cars off the road for one year.
