At A-Gas, sustainability is not an add-on to our business; it is our purpose. Everything we do is rooted in the belief that by managing refrigerants responsibly, we can protect and enhance our environment.

Every day, our products and services impact the lives of people all over the world. As the global demand for cooling and refrigeration grows, A-Gas is at the forefront of supplying and managing the lifecycle of refrigerants and fire protection agents that are essential to the way we live.

In 2024, we continued to pioneer circularity through lifecycle refrigerant management (LRM), ensuring that vital gases are recovered, reclaimed and repurposed, not released to the atmosphere.

A Breakthrough Year for LRM

2024 marked a pivotal increase in the topic of LRM. The landmark "90 Billion Ton Opportunity" study, in which A-Gas played an active role, plus research by Project Drawdown, have shown the enormous climate potential of refrigerant recovery and reuse. These studies have gained traction with the United Nations this year and helped place refrigerants firmly on the global climate agenda. 

As a leader in this area, A-Gas aims to build on this momentum over the coming years to grow our reach and continue to deliver environmentally beneficial outcomes. 

In 2024, A-Gas navigated a dynamic external environment with pricing volatility, tighter supply and more regulation as markets shifted towards next-generation lower-GWP refrigerants.

Regulators across the globe pressed ahead with phase-downs of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), creating shortages and price swings in commonly used refrigerants while accelerating the transition to a more circular refrigerant economy in 2025. Against this backdrop, we remained resilient, responding proactively to challenges and positioning the business to capture new opportunities. We also continued to make progress towards our sustainability targets, including improving our safety frameworks and strengthening social impact programmes such as MyShare and diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I).
