Imagine the impact if over 1,500 restaurants, more than 155,000 people, and 3 million daily customers change a little. Together we can change a lot.

Why Now?

We’ve been proudly serving communities across the UK since 1974. But this moment in time requires us to accelerate our ambition – and work even harder to look after each other and our planet. That means not just keeping pace with change, but leading the change, and playing our part in bringing a more sustainable, fairer future within closer reach for everyone.

So, in 2021 we set ourselves a challenge to lead this change across five key areas. Our Plan for Change set ambitious goals and actions right across our business, from farms to front counter, and beyond. This includes achieving net zero emissions across our entire business and value chain by 2040.
