Kroger Faces Pressure from Stakeholders and Consumers to Act on HFCs
Over one third of Kroger’s shareholders have voted in favor of a resolution requiring the chain to issue a report on its plans to ‘address its HFCs.’
Over one third of Kroger’s shareholders have voted in favor of a resolution requiring the chain to issue a report on its plans to ‘address its HFCs.’
Green America and EIA invite consumers to sign a letter to Kroger’s CEO urging him to phase out HFCs in all facilities by 2030.
The nonprofit’s ‘Cool It’ campaign aims to get supermarkets to switch to ‘ultra-low GWP, natural refrigerants.’
The free event, which takes place online November 3, will also address environmental impact of HFOs.
The agency will address the petition requests, from EIA, IIAR and others, in a future rulemaking, with no guarantees.
The nonprofit is working with the Environmental Investigation Agency, which rates U.S. supermarkets on climate-friendly practices.
The 5.5% positive vote means that a proposal to accelerate an HFC phase down can be brought up again next year.
