Green Cooling is the future. And the future starts now. Are you a frontrunner or a delayer?
International, regional and national regulations gradually restrict the use of synthetic refrigerants, especially those with high global warming potential (GWP). At the same time, consumers are increasingly aware of the climate crisis and want to buy appliances with a low carbon footprint.
Green Cooling smartly combines the use of natural refrigerants with energy efficiency and passive cooling. Green Cooling thereby protects our climate, the ozone layer and the environment, while improving people’s quality of life.

Special Focus: Green ACs for the SADC region
text
Our Cooling Program for Southern Africa (CooPSA) offers a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of market transformation in Botswana, Eswatini, Namibia and South Africa. We are looking for importers and retailers who partner with us.
The objective: Market uptake of energy-efficient split ACs that run with R290.
The approach: The R290 ACs receive a top up payment so that their price is competitive to other models. We also ensure that the AC technicians you work with are well-trained in installing and maintaining Green AC units. All measures are accompanied by a public awareness raising campaign.
Potentials of different market segments:
- The corporate sector represents the largest share of the AC market, with businesses constantly seeking energy-efficient and cost-effective cooling solutions. By participating in our programme, you'll cater to a growing demand while offering products that align with companies' increasing focus on sustainability.
- The consumer segment, particularly low-income households, is becoming more environmentally conscious but remains highly price-sensitive. Our incentivised Green AC units offer the perfect balance between affordability and efficiency, making them an attractive option for individual buyers.
- With the public sector accounting for 25% of the market, there's a significant opportunity to supply Green ACs to schools, hospitals, government buildings, and more. These institutions are increasingly prioritising energy efficiency, and our programme supports them through financial incentives and a green public procurement programme.
Don't let your competitors capture this emerging market. By offering Green ACs at competitive prices, supported by our incentives, you’ll attract a broader customer base and position yourself as a leader in sustainable cooling solutions.
