Emirates SkyCargo has joined the Move to-15oC global coalition, securing its place as the first airline to bring its expertise to the initiative. As a world-leader in the transport of perishables, Emirates will lend its expertise in handling and shipping of the goods. First launched at COP28 hosted in the UAE, the Move to-15oC coalition aims to redefine frozen food temperature standards and reduce energy consumption in the frozen food supply chain. The working hypothesis suggests a 3°C change in temperature could make an environmental impact with no compromise on food quality and safety. “The Move to-15oC coalition is a future-looking concept, bringing together likeminded partners to evolve the industry in line with current advancements in technology, equipment, facilities, packaging,” Dennis Lister, Senior Vice President of Product and Innovation, Emirates SkyCargo said. “We are excited to welcome Emirates to our coalition. The industry plays a vital role in the global cold chain, and having an airline such as Emirates on board represents a key step forward to us,” Thomas Eskesen, Chairman, Move to-15°C Coalition, said.
