Customer Story

Sainsbury’s

Sainsbury’s is the second largest supermarket chain in the UK with over 1400 stores. Considered one of the most forward looking organizations in the industry, Sainsbury’s are in the process of upgrading their refrigerated estates with Aerofoil technology.

"Since rolling out Aerofoils, we've seen a 15% reduction in energy created from fridges across our estate."

- Dave Merefield - Carbon Utilities & Engineering Manager | Sainsbury’s

Customer challenge

Sainsbury’s has been seeking to reduce it’s carbon footprint and use of natural resources for its retail operations. The company has committed to investing £1 billion towards becoming a net zero business by 2035, as part of this investment they have trialled numerous technologies within their operations to support these net zero goals.

After trialling Aerofoils in 50 Sainsbury’s stores, the technology was rolled out across every one of its UK supermarkets - where it was either retrofitted to existing fridges, or fitted as standard to new cabinets.
