Spearheading WSH’s focus on sustainability is Mike Hanson, director of sustainable business across WSH. He will be leading the business’ commitment to setting science-based targets in line with the Paris Agreement to reach global net-zero global emissions by 2050 in order to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
Hanson said: “In the year of COP26, and on World Environment Day, our commitment to setting a Science Based Target is an important milestone.
“I am also delighted to announce that we have formally joined the Zero Carbon Forum, a collaborative programme across the hospitality industry, to deliver a roadmap to net-zero. By working together as an industry our aim is to achieve net-zero faster and more effectively.”
The food waste management programme ‘Food Waste Costing the Earth’ has saved over 61,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions since 2014.
