Refrigerants, Naturally! members are committed to...

• Make a substantial effort or investment to progressively replace fluorocarbons with natural refrigerants in point-of-sale cooling applications. This may include R&D, testing, financial investment, staff time or public engagement.
• Develop prospective timetables to move their operation towards these goals and periodically share their progress with members.
• Share technical information about alternative refrigeration between the partners of the initiative via regular meetings, special events/workshops and bilateral exchanges.
• Share data and results with external stakeholders, such as their wider supply chain, their industry peer groups, government decision makers and the public.

The present members have found this initiative as an effective, flexible and useful tool to help manage their work on sustainable refrigeration.

It provides participants, among other things, with the following:

• A forum to collect intelligence and share information on HFC-free technologies and public policy trends.
• A "safe haven" to manage the institutional and NGO dialogue in an open and non-confrontational way.
• A practical tool and critical mass to collectively communicate with the supply chain and to take position in the public domain (with legislators, with pro-HFC lobby, etc.).
• An established "brand" with credibility and visibility - identified with leadership even if the subject is difficult to explain.
• A powerful alliance that can show case the member's achievements to a wide audience. Using the resources and contacts of the corporate members and non corporate supporters (UNEP and Greenpeace) allow these messages to be placed with maximum effect.
