True Initiatives
We are committed to the overall sustainability of our entire operation with specific examples below:
- 
In 2008, TRUE joined Climate Leaders – An EPA industry-government partnership that works with companies to develop comprehensive climate change strategies. True is committed to aggressively reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 15% in 2013. TRUE is currently the only North American refrigeration manufacturer that has made this pledge.
- We have recently discontinued the use of Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) chemicals in the refrigeration systems more than 10 years before the legal mandate. TRUE has also eliminated the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of blowing agents used in its foaming insulation process of equipment from 142,000 tons of C02 equivalent units to ZERO. (THIS IS EQUIVALENT TO REMOVING 23,500 CARS OFF THE ROAD EACH YEAR)
- Over the last 10 years, we have reduced certain EPA reportable chemical releases by 80%, our total water use by 58%, and reduced our natural gas consumption by 23% per square foot of manufacturing.
- 
As of 2007, TRUE equipment meets RoHS compliance. RoHS stands for “Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances” in electrical and electronic equipment. This eliminates the use of major hazardous substances in the production of TRUE products, such as lead, mercury and cadmium.
