FRIGOGLASS S.A.I.C.
FRIGOGLASS GREEN CREDENTIALS RECOGNIZED BY HEINEKEN
October 8th 2010, Frigoglass has been given an Award at the Heineken International Purchasing Conference in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands, in recognition of their valuable contribution to Heineken?s Sustainability programme ?Brewing a Better Future.?
Cooling beer at the point of sale ensures the quality of the beverage but also generates carbon emissions. Therefore, Heineken introduced a global policy earlier this year which specifies that every new cooler installed, either as a new installation or as a replacement, must meet a new, more efficient specification.
Frigoglass, being a main cooler supplier to Heineken Company for more than 20 years, is pleased that it is now also becoming Heineken?s main supplier of coolers which meet its new ?green? specifications. The Frigoglass Ecocool product line minimises energy consumption and the impact on the environment through the use of natural refrigerants, the use of natural substances in the insulation process as well as being fully recyclable.
Earlier in the year at the European Business Awards for the Environment, Frigoglass was recognised as one of the top 3 companies in Europe for the product award in the Sustainable Development category for Ecocool (together with Siemens gas turbines and Energy ICT systems).
Presenting the award, Mark Bekkers, Group Purchasing at Heineken, said ?Frigoglass has played a significant role in helping to implement our green strategy and will continue to be a strong partner as we continue to drive our ?Brewing a Better Future? programme.?
Tom Aas, ICM Chief Operating Officer at Frigoglass, said ?Ecocool is the world?s first complete range of commercially viable, environmentally-friendly coolers. Working in partnership with our customers is of absolute importance to us and we look forward to continuing our relationship with Heineken so that we can support each other in our sustainability ambitions. We are delighted to receive this recognition and encouragement and would like to extend our warm appreciation.?
