The cold chain is leading the fight against climate change. It acts as a frontline in preventing waste, and across our sector businesses are leading the way in reducing the carbon footprint of supply chains. This new event is our chance to recognise this mission and to celebrate those that are leading the way.
The Cold Chain Climate Summit was the first event of its type specifically aimed at people managing the climate, sustainability and energy efficiency programmes within cold chain businesses. With speeches, presentations and debate about the leading edge issues for cold chain businesses in cold storage, transport and systems, this is an event to widen your knowledge base and learn about the technologies available to help you achieve your sustainability goals.
