Honeywell today announced its inaugural Solstice Awards program, designed to honor companies around the world who are visibly demonstrating their commitment to sustainable air conditioning and refrigeration by adopting refrigerants based on its proprietary Solstice technology to maximize efficiency and reduce their carbon footprint.

**Recipients of the Inaugural Solstice Award include:**

**Albertsons/Safeway**: American supermarket chain adopted Solstice N40 (R-448A) lower global-warming-potential refrigerant in more than 640 stores in the U.S. Solstice N40 is the most widely accepted, lowest GWP, non-flammable refrigerant replacement for R22 and R-404A globally.

“At Albertsons/Safeway, we are committed to responsible refrigeration practices that lead to a healthier planet,” said Wade Krieger, Refrigeration and HVAC manager, Albertsons/Safeway. “The lower GWP of Solstice N40 supports our environmental commitments while also improving overall energy performance and meeting our budget requirements.”
