NASRC Releases 2021 Annual Report

Naturally Better Together
Announcing NASRC's 2021 Annual Report

NASRC is proud to release our 2021 Annual Report, Naturally Better Together, which summarizes our collective progress to eliminate the barriers to natural refrigerants in supermarkets. 2021 was filled with global uncertainty, but together with our members and partners, we made unprecedented progress to:

• Offset first costs of natural refrigerant technologies

• Increase natural refrigerant technology options

• Ensure service workforce readiness

• Increase awareness and support for the transition away from HFCs

We hope you take a moment to celebrate our shared accomplishments towards building a naturally better future for supermarket refrigeration. None of this would be possible without your support.
