Old Ball focuses on sustainability

By 2050, the UK wants to achieve net zero carbon emissions, and we recognise we have a part to play in helping make it happen. In light of this, we’ve taken a look at our carbon footprint and implemented a strategy for reducing it over the coming weeks, months and years.

We must say, we’re really proud of the work we’ve done so far, but there's still a long road ahead of us, and we’re aware of how much more we still need to do.

Our parent company Mitchell's & Butlers is working towards continual improvements and sustainable choices to meet the following goals:

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 restaurants and pubs are powered with 100% renewable electricity

o 96% of our operational waste is diverted from landfill

o We are founding members of the Zero Carbon Forum and are committed to reducing our emissions and developing a roadmap to net zero
