Environment and sustainability

Company commitment and targets

Wetherspoon recognises the risk of climate change. The separate ‘strategic report – environmental matters’, contained in the annual report, outlines the assessment performed by the company in establishing the climate-related risks and opportunities identified to date, the risk rating applied to each and the company’s mitigation plan. The disclosure and supporting document are reviewed annually by the board.

Wetherspoon is committed to operating ethically and sustainably and to finding ways, over time, to reduce carbon emissions. Recycling is promoted throughout the business, along with ways to reduce energy consumption.

It is the company’s aim to:

• increasingly minimise its environmental impact and reduce carbon emissions.
• minimise energy consumption and maximise efficiency.

• promote efficient purchasing to minimise waste and allow for material-recycling.

• adopt efficient waste-management strategies, to maximise reuse and recycling and to minimise general waste.
• minimise any emissions or effluents which may cause environmental damage.

Reducing, reusing, recycling and waste management

As a business, Wetherspoon aims to minimise general waste and maximise recycling and reuse.

The company looks for opportunities for circularity in its waste-management systems.

The company has set the target for a maximum of 10% of waste to be treated as general waste and for no waste (0%) to be sent to landfill.
