It’s not just about what we make, it’s about what we make possible. At Palfridge, we are committed to creating a positive impact beyond our products, supporting communities through charitable contributions, volunteer initiatives, and responsible business practices. Improving quality of life in Eswatini in a sustainable way is part of our DNA. We actively invest in the communities where we operate, striving to be a responsible corporate citizen and leading by example through meaningful and lasting change.
We believe in delivering what people want without compromising their quality of life. Whether serving our customers or supporting our employees, we are committed to offering some of the most affordable products in the industry without sacrificing quality. At our fridge manufacturing facility, we proudly provide employment to 381 people, offering wages that exceed the gazetted minimum, reinforcing our commitment to fair pay, economic growth, and community upliftment.
We were the first in the Southern Hemisphere to transition to environmentally friendly hydrocarbon refrigerants, R600a and R290. These advanced refrigerants use lower gas charges, significantly reducing environmental impact and minimizing our carbon footprint. In partnership with the Eswatini Environment Authority, our commitment to sustainability has been internationally recognized. We were honoured with an Exemplary Award from the UNDP for our leading role in driving sustainable development in Eswatini.
