This podcast was recorded as part of the IIR International Cold Chain and Sustainability Conference held in April 2022 and organised by the Institute of Refrigeration.
We invited a team of experts to discuss carbon reduction opportunities. Can the global cold chain do more with less, whilst at the same time meeting changing customer demands? What will be the role of new business models, improved data sources and coherence across stakeholders in making more rapid gains towards net zero and more effective policy solutions?
Guest chair Julie Hanson of the Global Cold Chain Alliance puts questions to our panel:
- Brian Churchyard of Asda
- Andrea Voigt of Danfoss
- Shane Brennan of the Cold Chain Federation
- Melanie Jans Singh of BEIS, UK Dept for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy
