Walmart supports programm to decarbonize food supply chain

June 07, 2024 | Food Digital | Source

Major food industry players Walmart, Albertsons, and Con Edison are partnering with The Clean Fight, a climate tech organization, to decarbonize the food supply chain. This initiative aims to implement high-impact climate tech solutions in businesses providing on-site food, drink, or accommodation, including hotels, restaurants, and cafes. The programme focuses on often-overlooked post-farm food supply chain emissions and offers technologies addressing key sustainability challenges, such as refrigeration, food preservation, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, heat recovery, and cold chain energy management.

Clayton Casteel, Walmart’s Senior Director for Strategic Partnerships, emphasized the importance of scalable, cost-effective innovations in Walmart’s decarbonization efforts. Notable companies like Air Water Global, enhancing food storage and shelf life, and Bedrock Energy, providing geothermal heating and cooling systems, are part of the programme.

The collaborative approach involves comprehensive assessments, renewable energy exploration, energy efficiency optimization, and fostering environmental responsibility. Companies like Carrier and Con Edison are also participating, leveraging natural refrigerant technologies and renewable energy investments. This initiative positions these companies as leaders in corporate social responsibility, aiming for significant carbon footprint reductions by 2030.
