Andrea Asch presents Ben & Jerry’s Statement of Mission and Unilever’s Sustainable Living Plan, before discussing the company’s roll-out of hydrocarbon (HC) freezer technology in the US, the result of the successful collaboration between the two companies. In 2012 Ben and Jerry’s will have 700 HC freezers in the US, following the December 2011 SNAP approval of HC gas. Future plans are to continue the implementation of HC freezers, improve energy efficiency and expand the technology to other cabinets.
