That’s why in November 2020 we became one of 18 founding members of the UK hospitality sector Zero Carbon Forum, which has been established to decarbonise our sector together at pace. As part of this ambitious initiative, we will contribute to and publish, by September 2021, an industry-wide plan to achieve net zero carbon – ahead of the UK-hosted United Nations Climate Change Conference in November. We’re really excited about the collaborative opportunities that being part of this Forum will offer. Among the commitments we’ve made, we will measure and benchmark key emission areas such as energy, water, waste, supply chains and transport annually, and develop a company-wide action plan to implement best practices in emission reduction. The Forum is already working on reduction initiatives including collaborative renewable energy buying, electric vehicle charge points and carbon offsetting and, as members, we will be part of collaborative working groups looking at how we can implement these changes both together and in our individual businesses. 08
