Our Promise To People & The Planet
Leading with integrity & purpose-driven impact.
Proud to be a
"As we are in the midst of a climate crisis, caused by increased carbon emissions, deforestation and excessive livestock farming, we feel it essential to do our bit and join the hospitality industry’s pledge to be net-zero by 2040. The UK hospitality industry currently contributes to 15% of carbon emissions despite making up 4% of the UK’s GDP. Whilst always being environmentally focused, going through the very thorough and lengthy process to get B-Corp accreditation has meant that we have scrutinised every area of our business.
Significant changes have included re-launching our new restaurant, going to a new energy provider, changing many of our suppliers across different sectors of the business and updating all our employee contracts. The process has enabled us to improve our environmental impact across all major criteria, including the health and welfare of all our stakeholders – both internal and external, and our entire supplier chain. The world would be a much better place, if all corporations and organisations had to adhere to these guidelines. "
