The Beacon focuses on sustainability
The UK has made it its mission to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, and The Beacon is committed to being on that journey.
As part of this overall vision, we’ve reviewed our carbon footprint and created a strategy for how we can be more sustainable alongside being the comfortable local you can come to for real ale and traditional pub food. Our parent company Mitchell's & Butlers has developed an extensive strategy with sustainably-driven improvements that are focused on:
o Net Zero Greenhouse Gas emissions by 2040 (scope 1,2 and 3)
o Achieving zero waste to landfill by 2030
o Reducing food waste by 50% by 2030
o We work with Fareshare to redistribute surplus food to communities who need it
o Our pubs are powered with 100% renewable electricity
o 96% of our operational waste is diverted from landfill
o Ember Inns are founding members of the Zero Carbon Forum and are committed to reducing our emissions and developing a road-map to Net Zero
