• Focusing on energy-efficient products and reducing green-house gas emissions
• Continually pushing the boundaries by asking “what if … ?”

1. Reduction in carbon footprint

In order to achieve a more sustainable future, we are pushing engineering boundaries to create the most energy-efficient products and engaging with retails to take a more sustainable route. We focus on creating a more sustainable way of life and take pride in designing products that use less energy to seeking solutions that reduce the toll on our planet. As a result, we’ve become an industry leader in energy efficiency and a pioneer in sustainable refrigerants.

With the introduction of clean cooling options such as Transcritical CO2, futureproofing has been ensured. Natural refrigerants are a clean-burning, alternative energy source and have very little impact on the environment. It has a lower carbon footprint as it emits 10,000 fewer pounds of carbon per year as compared to standard oil-fuelled furnaces.

2. Energy-efficient merchandising

Energy costs are lowered due to clean cooling solutions such as eco-friendly R290 natural refrigerant in various supermarkets and retailers. Leading commercial suppliers rely on McAlpine Hussmann for our energy-efficient innovations. We are always working to improve the energy performance of our state-of-the-art display cases, refrigeration and HVAC systems. And, we offer retail optimization services to help retailers lower energy costs throughout their operations. 

3. Ensuring financial growth

McAlpine Hussmann not only ensures safety for the environment, but also makes sure maximum profit is acquired by providing guidance at each step. We know what it takes for our customers to boost sales. Our retail optimisation team has the experience and know-how to help our partners attract more customers, enhance their product mix and apply technology to move their business forward.

At McAlpine Hussmann, we believe in supporting a sustainable future for our community and environment. And we are in a key industry to make a telling difference.

Nearly a quarter of green-house gases are emitted by refrigeration technologies. So, we are investing in natural refrigerants and have introduced refrigerated cases with 99% lower environmental impact.
We’ve long focused on creating a more sustainable way of life – from designing products that use less energy to seeking solutions that reduce the toll on our planet. As a result, we’ve become an industry leader in energy efficiency and a pioneer in sustainable refrigerants.

Our energy efficient products such as our display cabinets reduce environmental impacts as well as cost for retailers. We are always working to improve the energy performance of our display cases and refrigeration systems. And, we offer retail optimization services to help food retailers lower energy costs throughout their operations.

All our display cabinets have options available for R744 (CO2) refrigerant for liquid recirculation. CO2 systems have a far lower global warming potential (GWP) than chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons (HFC) which were the traditional refrigerant. For instance, the common HFC blend R404A has a GWP of 3922 compared to a GWP of 1 for CO2.

We have state of the art testing laboratories in all our main facilities, ensuring that all products are tested and registered to the industry requirements. This means that our products are all certified and compliant to your regional requirements.
As a Panasonic company, we share the global technology leader’s mission to achieve more sustainable outcomes. This includes exploring renewable energy and innovations that reduce our carbon footprint.
