Join us for a candid conversation on refrigerants, also known as Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).
Refrigerants are super climate pollutants and the fastest growing greenhouse gas globally. Surprisingly, grocery stores offer one of the best opportunities to reduce emission quickly and efficiently. This panel will feature 3 women working on refrigerants from the regulatory, non-profit, and grocery store operations perspective. They share a common goal of making grocery store refrigeration more sustainable.
