Résumé

Unilever, one of the largest fast moving consumer goods companies in the world, is also one of the largest end-users of industrial refrigeration. Unilever Sustainable Living Plan aims to double the growth of the company, while halving the environmental impact. The two main contributors to the environmental footprint from refrigeration are the impact of the refrigerant used in refrigeration systems, and the impact related to the use of energy (mainly electricity) required for operating refrigeration systems. Both elements are included in the sustainable refrigeration strategy. The refrigerant choice for industrial refrigeration is ammonia, using an optimised standard core design concept and an appropriate safety management system. For the carbon footprint reduction from energy use for refrigeration, a robust implementation plan has been developed, on the basis of ten improvement levers. Preliminary investigations based on assessments of improvement potentials indicate that it is feasible to meet the overall sustainability targets.
