Cold Move Logistics Solutions claimed two awards at the Business Energy Achievement Awards 2026: Best Energy Excellence in Food, Agriculture and Consumer Products and Innovation in Decarbonisation — Small. The dual recognition places the company among the standout performers of the 2026 programme, acknowledged for delivering measurable decarbonisation outcomes in one of Ireland’s most energy-intensive operational environments.

At the heart of the company’s achievement is a structured and evidence-based approach to reducing energy intensity across its cold chain operations. Investment in LED lighting upgrades, an 820 kWp rooftop solar installation, rapid rise freezer doors, and refrigeration infrastructure improvements has produced tangible results. Between 2024 and 2025, electricity consumption fell by 8.3%, a reduction supported by three years of solar generation data that demonstrates the sustained performance of the renewable programme over time.

In awarding Best Energy Excellence in Food, Agriculture and Consumer Products, the judges noted that Cold Move Logistics Solutions demonstrated a strong and technically coherent approach to reducing energy intensity across its cold chain operations. The panel highlighted the company’s clear focus on long-term efficiency and resilience as reflecting meaningful commitment to sustainable energy management.

For Innovation in Decarbonisation — Small, the judges described Cold Move Logistics Solutions as a compelling example of commercially grounded decarbonisation in a highly energy-intensive sector. The panel noted that the combination of renewable generation, energy efficiency measures, refrigeration resilience, and rigorous performance monitoring links sustainability directly to operational resilience and business performance, demonstrating how practical investment can support long-term decarbonisation and growth.

For Ireland’s cold chain and logistics sector, the recognition carries wider implications. As operators face mounting pressure to reduce the carbon intensity of temperature-controlled supply chains, Cold Move Logistics Solutions offers a replicable and commercially credible model for how that challenge can be met without compromising operational performance.
