Emirates has become the first airline to join the Move to -15°C global coalition, a group focused on transforming the frozen foods supply chain. This initiative was initially introduced at COP28 in the UAE and aims to redefine temperature standards for frozen food, potentially reducing energy consumption without compromising food quality or safety.

The coalition's strategy involves cross-industry collaboration to explore practical applications of research findings through data sharing, operational adjustments, and engagement with policymakers. Emirates SkyCargo plays a significant role in this field as its largest business unit by tonnage is perishables, transporting 900 to 1,000 tonnes of fresh food daily. Although frozen foods constitute a smaller portion of their cargo, Emirates' advanced cool chain infrastructure and strong supply chain relationships provide valuable insights for reimagining frozen food logistics.

Dennis Lister, Senior Vice President of Product and Innovation at Emirates SkyCargo, stated: “We have long been leaders in the movement of perishable food... The Move to -15oC coalition is a future-looking concept... We are excited to offer our insight and expertise to help shape the next phase of food logistics while driving meaningful environmental impact.”

Thomas Eskesen, Chairman of the Move to -15°C Coalition, remarked: "We are excited to welcome Emirates to our Coalition... By joining the Coalition, Emirates is demonstrating that change is possible through industries joining forces.”

The coalition was formed in 2023 after releasing the Three Degrees of Change report. This academic paper was supported by DP World and created by experts from institutions like the International Institute of Refrigeration in Paris and universities such as Birmingham and London South Bank.
