Fitting Aerofoils across our retail estate will make a major contribution to our corporate responsibility programme, most importantly by lowering our energy consumption and related emissions, but also by improving product quality and reducing product waste.

Clare Meehan - Head of Stores and Supply Chain Finance, WHSmith

Aerofoils are central to our sustainability agenda for the UK and internationally. The technology also brings improvements to product temperatures, which will help us reduce shrinkage and food waste, another key component of our environmental strategy.

Supermarket chains potentially save around £100 million a year... Around 260 million kg of CO2 are saved annually... On the global stage, this UK product has the potential to make a massive impact in terms of energy usage and lower carbon footprint

Dave Merefield - Carbon, Utilities and Engineering Manager

By lowering our energy consumption, Aerofoils will make a significant contribution to our target reduction in gross emissions of 30% by 2020. Aerofoils are therefore a major component in our corporate environmental strategy.
