Our ambition is to achieve net zero emissions in the UK and Ireland from farms to restaurants, by 2040.

This means making changes across our whole business and value chain – from the key ingredients we source for our menu, to how we build and operate our restaurants to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

We are also committed to protecting and restoring nature by supporting British and Irish farmers to improve soil health and water management as well as increase biodiversity.

Our Plan for the Planet

In 2021, as part of our Plan for Change, we committed to six goals for making a positive difference to the climate and nature. Since then we’ve been working on our net zero emissions roadmap in partnership with our suppliers, and developing innovative carbon reduction pilots and regenerative farming initiatives in our priority supply chains.
