“Whole Foods Market is proud to be a leader among U.S. supermarkets in reducing emissions of hydrofluorocarbons and adopting low-global warming potential refrigeration technologies. We set yearly refrigerant leak rate reduction goals internally and our stores are equipped with automatic leak detection systems that enable us to address leaks in a timely manner when they occur. We also set yearly leak rate reduction goals as part of our membership in the EPA’s GreenChill Partnership and were awarded a Superior Goal Achievement recognition for meeting our goal in 2019.”
