Hear from Amy de Marsac
Mitchells & Butlers has been recognised for making huge strides in creating a more sustainable business that’s on the road to meeting its net zero targets. Here, Amy de Marsac, our Director of Investor Relations and Sustainability, talks about the journey which began in 2019.
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 developing a programme of investment to enhance the efficiency of both our buildings and equipment. In addition to focusing on this, we have collaborated with our energy providers to ensure that 100% of the electricity we use is generated from renewable sources.
Food purchases represent the largest 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.
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 April 2022, we divert 96% of operation waste from landfill and recycle 56% of our overall operational waste.
