Kroger, one of the nation’s leading grocery chains with over 2,700 stores under brands like Pay-less, Ralph’s, and City Market, is lagging behind Aldi, Target, and Whole Foods in addressing climate crisis-causing hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Green America and the Environmental Investigation Agency have been pressuring Kroger to switch to low-polluting natural refrigerants, supported by thousands of Green Americans and investors. In June 2024, Kroger announced that all its new stores will use CO2 refrigerants starting in 2025, which are much better for the planet than conventional HFC coolants.

Kroger must take action on climate change 06/27/2024

Kroger, another year and another missed opportunity to address climate pollution and sustainability at your shareholder’s meeting. Kroger needs to take responsibility for its pollution and put a concrete plan in place to switch to natural refrigerants in its new, and 2700 existing, stores by 2035.

Kroger must take action on climate change Kroger has a major problem with super-polluting, greenhouse gases called hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). These HFCs have thousands of times the warming capacity of carbon dioxide, and supermarkets are leaking millions of tons of them every year.

🧊 Kroger, we’re melting! Close the climate-polluting refrigerants and switch to natural ones now! Kroger must take greater action on climate change!

06/25/2024

Kroger, your climate-polluting refrigerants are turning up the heat on our planet. Go green with natural refrigerants! Kroger must take greater action on climate change!
