ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Americold
Realty Trust (NYSE:COLD), the world’s largest owner and operator of
temperature-controlled warehouses, today announced it has been
recognized under the Global Cold Chain Alliance’s (GCCA) new Energy
Excellence Recognition Program and awarded Gold and Silver
certifications at more than 50 sites.
The GCCA devised its Energy Excellence Recognition Program in
conjunction with a subcommittee of the International Association of
Refrigerated Warehouses’ (IARW) Refrigeration and Energy Committee over
the past two years. Recognizing power as being a member’s first or
second highest cost, the program’s intention is to encourage
participants to constantly strive towards energy excellence in the form
of responsible energy consumption. Top performing facilities are
recognized for their achievements with Gold and Silver status
certifications.
“The Energy Excellence Recognition Program recognizes the work our
members are doing to drive energy excellence in the cold chain,” said
Corey Rosenbusch, President & CEO, GCCA. “The program can also help
warehouse organizations better partner with their customers on
sustainability initiatives while creating greater efficiencies that may
generate cost-savings for their facility.”
The program is open to any organization operating a
temperature-controlled facility but as contributing entities, members of
the IARW’s Refrigeration and Energy Committee’s subcommittee became
early program adopters.
“Being part of the program’s development team allowed all contributors
to share their own responsible-use practices so that we could develop
the metrics required to determine what good, great, and excellent
performance looked like,” said David Stuver, Chairman of the Energy
Excellence Task Force and Executive Vice President, Business Development
and Supply Chain Solutions at Americold. “Becoming an early adopter and
then being awarded Gold and Silver certifications for so many sites is
an incredible testament to the achievements of our energy management
team, our focus on cost control, and our commitment to sustainability.”
With such a large role in their cold chain networks, Americold’s
customers can consider the company’s recognition under the program as a
contributing factor to their own supply chain’s sustainability efforts.
