Working Together - NetZero Umbrella Group

This section lists just some of the organisations who are working to help the RACHP sector and users of cooling equipment  to achieve net zero.  If you represent an organisation who is providing non-commercial, independent and free to access guidance contact us and we will add your campaign details to this page.

The Beyond Refrigeration initiative will be drawing from the useful guidance, training and tools available to provide reliable and practical guidance to help you to achieve your environmental goals as we move towards  Net Zero and working more closely with these groups to share resources.
