CARBON At Azzurri, our pledge to combat climate change is unwavering. Understanding the pivotal role businesses play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we are steadfast in our commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2040. We’re actively building a more sustainable future, starting with our founding membership in the Zero Carbon Forum in 2020. Since joining the Zero Carbon Forum, we have diligently worked to understand and minimise our environmental impact. We are focusing on quantifying our impact through carbon accounting and this report provides an update on our emissions for the 昀椀nancial years 2022 and 2023, analysed by Zero Carbon Services. Our methodology As part of our learning journey, we have worked with our partners at Zero Carbon Services to re昀椀ne our reporting methodology, aligning it with UK industry best practices and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. The consistency of the past two 昀椀nancial years, without a global pandemic, offers a more accurate re昀氀ection of our true business size and impact. We have also introduced a hybrid model consisting of analysing data provided directly by our suppliers, analysed through Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs), and obtained through a spend analysis. Despite these improvements in our methodology, we acknowledge that we are on a journey and expect our data maturity to improve year on year, as we work with suppliers to strengthen our data inputs and improve our understanding of our supply chain’s impact. The next few pages present our carbon footprint with our most up to date calculations. SUSTAINABLE DINING REPORT 2023 25
