Morrisons Raises Freezer Temperatures to Cut Emissions and Save Costs

UK supermarket chain trials 3C increase in 10 stores, aiming for energy efficiency and reduced carbon footprint

Morrisons is testing higher freezer temperatures in 10 stores across the UK, raising them from -18C to -15C.
The trial is backed by the Move to Minus 15°C Coalition, including major brands like Birds Eye and logistics firms.
Studies indicate the temperature increase could cut energy consumption by 10-11% and reduce carbon emissions significantly.
The initiative supports Morrisons' goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions from its operations by 2035.
Cost savings from the energy reduction could help Morrisons maintain competitive prices for shoppers.
