  • 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.

  • Cost savings from the energy reduction could help Morrisons maintain competitive prices for shoppers.
