Haifa, January 13, 2025 – ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (NYSE: ZIM), a global leader in refrigerated container shipping, announced today its participation in the “Move to -15” coalition - a cross-industry alliance aiming to cut emissions in the cold chain sector by raising standard temperature of frozen cargo from -18°C to -15°C. This small change could prevent an estimated 17.7 million metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually.
With a fleet of advanced reefer containers and its exclusive ZIMonitor service, ZIM provides real-time monitoring to ensure optimal cold chain conditions. The “Move to -15” initiative aligns perfectly with ZIM's vision for sustainable shipping.
ZIM EVP COO David Arbel said: "As part of ZIM’s ESG commitment, we’re advancing sustainable, cutting-edge solutions to lower environmental impact in global shipping. We’re proud to join a coalition that will make cold chain logistics eco-friendlier and more cost-effective."
