SUPPORTING MEMBERS TO OPERATE TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS
The Cold Chain Federation is the voice of the UK cold chain industry. Through policy leadership, expert insight, events, and practical guidance, we support our members to operate to the highest standards across the cold chain.
As a Cold Chain Federation member, your organisation has access to an unrivalled suite of expertise, resources and industry leadership. Together, this body of knowledge supports high standards in safety, compliance, efficiency and sustainability, and continues to grow every year.

To recognise this, all members are entitled to use the OPERATING TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS badge alongside their Cold Chain Federation member logo.

- Health, safety and risk management
- Best practice sharing through expert groups
- Policy engagement and industry representation
