Achieving Climate Net Zero

Change is needed.

 

It cannot be understated: the climate emergency is the biggest challenge of our lifetime.

Food plays a key role in global emissions, with the global food system currently accounting for 30% of greenhouse gas emissions. Food waste is the third largest cause of global warming. 1.3bn tonnes of food is thrown away each year - that’s a third of all food produced globally. Developed countries shoulder most of the fault for this, but it’s developing countries that first feel the consequences of inaction. 

We want our path forward to be a model for the rest of the industry. We want to be market leaders in sustainable food; delivering locally sourced, plant forward and in-season menus. This is a recipe for change.

Our Climate Promise

 

Levy is committed to achieving Climate Net Zero. This site is about our journey towards that goal; a record of the problems we face, the way we propose to tackle them, and the results we hope to achieve. We hope to be a model for the rest of the industry on how to do this right, so we’re being as transparent as possible.



 

The Road to Sustainability

 

We know this isn’t something we can do overnight. In order to be a model for the industry, we’ll be bringing you detailed plans as well as explanations about the targets we will hold ourselves to and our plans of how to reach them.

Our Partners

 
 

Klimato

Tracking and visualising emissions is our first step in developing a climate conscious plan for the future. We have partnered with Swedish startup Klimato to calculate and communicate the carbon footprint of our food. This data helps us understand the carbon impact of our menus, and allows visitors to make informed decisions about the carbon content of the dishes they eat. In the medium term we will use this to set goals, cut emissions, and show progress to our guests and employees.

 

Sustainable supply chains

As a market leader we know that the industry has a clear responsibility to continue to do more to decrease its carbon impact, which is why we are working with a range of partners who are putting sustainability at the heart of their business; for everything from our ingredients to our uniforms.
