Your success is our success
At the North American Sustainable Refrigeration Council (NASRC), we work to dismantle the barriers to natural refrigerants for food retailers. As an unbiased 501c3 nonprofit organization, everything we do is for the grocery refrigeration industry, the planet, and you. How do we measure success? Your success is our success.
Unlike other organizations, our membership’s value comes from the intangible. Sure, you’ll get event discounts, recognition on our website, valuable education, legislative updates, and more (see the full list here). But the true value comes from being a part of the leading community of stakeholders collectively making progress for the entire industry.
Bridging the Industry
NASRC is the common ground for commercial refrigeration, policy, energy, environment, and education stakeholders. We serve as a bridge for leaders from across industries to collaborate to build a sustainable future for refrigeration together.
And NASRC members are in good company: our membership network represents 160+ companies from across North America, including over 55,000 food retail locations as well as service contractors, manufacturers and suppliers, consultants, engineering firms, utilities, trade associations, nonprofits, and schools.
Your Membership’s Impact
Our members are the organization’s backbone; we rely on them to help us make change. Thanks to their support, we can offer free resources like technician training, information on funding for natural refrigerants, research reports, policy information, and more.
Our members create change by actively contributing their time and expertise to benefit the industry and the environment. They’re at the core of our training events, curriculum, and roundtables.
