Sustainability is at the foundation of BAC’s strategy and vision:
"Reinventing cooling to sustain the world."
The critical need for sustainable cooling
The process of cooling is essential to keeping people comfortable, ensuring productivity, guaranteeing the right storage and handling conditions for lifesaving products and commodities, such as COVID vaccines and medicines, along with essentials, such as food. Any limitations placed on access to cooling would create productivity losses and adverse impacts on the provision of quality health care, nourishment, education, and more.
Mega-trends like increasing urbanization, global population growth with an expanding middle class, digitalization, and increasing average global temperatures due to climate change have led to an exponentially growing demand for cooling.
As the global leader in evaporative cooling and thermal storage solutions, BAC is equipped to take up this challenge. We are making sure it is as efficient as possible to cool humanity while minimizing the contribution to global climate change.
