The hospitality sector, already hit hard by the pandemic, is now facing another challenge that some might argue is even more daunting in mitigating its carbon footprint. Imagine flooded businesses, parched farms and struggling customers who stay at home. That is the challenge the hospitality sector is facing, and it is already happening. It is a certainty that everyone in the sector faces if it does not get carbon in check. Not for 2050 — but right now. It is not prediction anymore, it is data. It is now more than just protecting the bottom line, but the planet and people that make everything about the sector possible. And zero is the only way. The UK has a legislated commitment for the hospitality sector to be net zero but as the impacts of climate change unfold, the time for talk is over. Hospitality is acting, united under a meaningful, practical plan to reduce, then eliminate, its carbon footprint.

Join me and my guests - Nadine-Bowles Newark, Environmental Sustainability Manager at Whitbread, Bob Gordon, Director of the Zero Carbon Forum and Olivere Rosevear, Director of Sustainability at Fuller, Smith & Turner as we discuss how the hospitality sector is meeting the challenges posed by climate change.
