Call for New Members

Refrigerants, Naturally! is encouraging other major companies interested in HFC-free technologies to join the initiative. New partners will be expected to both contribute resources in terms of internal research and development/investment in alternative refrigeration technologies, and to contribute to the cost of the secretariat based in Frankfurt, Germany.

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 subject is difficult to explain
• A flexible platform to showcase what we do, with availability of material, messages, tools, plus Greenpeace's and UNEP's capabilities and connections.
