Respect for the planet

Our sustainability strategy is designed to reduce the negative impact our operations have on the environment.

A new way of operating which can begin to give back to nature

Respect for the planet means we are committed to reducing our emissions, tackling waste and protecting biodiversity. We are committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and have set an ambitious target to be Net Zero by 2040. We are working hard to reduce the amount of waste we produce whilst increasing recycling rates, and to improve the efficiency of our buildings by purchasing 100% renewable electricity, installing solar panels and removing gas from our estate.

We’re working hard to reduce emissions

To lower our scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, we are dedicated to reducing the consumption of energy within our businesses, along with purchasing 100% renewable electricity, continuing our solar panel roll out, converting kitchens from gas to electricity and removing gas from sites completely.

Food purchases represent the largest single contributor

The food we sell is the largest contributor to our greenhouse gas footprint. This is common in restaurants and catering companies, reinforcing the importance of understanding the environmental impact of the food we serve. Emission reduction forms an important part of our food procurement strategy, alongside animal welfare, nutrition and biodiversity. We work with suppliers across all categories to understand and improve the environmental credentials of the products we buy.

Reducing waste is a critical element

Waste reduction is the second critical element of our sustainability plan, and we are dedicated to reaching zero operational waste to landfill by 2030. To underpin this target and reduce our impact on the environment, we have set a recycling rate ambition of 80% over the same time period. As of September 2024, we divert 98% of operation waste from landfill and recycle 59% of our overall operational waste.
