Customers depend on Americold’s network every day to protect food and keep their supply chains moving. The 2025 report reflects how disciplined operations, engineering-led execution, and targeted capital investment in facilities are working together to ensure reliability.

Rob Chambers, Chief Executive Officer of Americold Realty Trust:

"Leading companies today treat sustainability not as a reporting exercise, but as a resiliency strategy."
