We are committed to building a sustainable company

In an era defined by growing environmental awareness, Young’s Pubs stands out as a prime example of a hospitality company that has taken significant strides towards sustainability. With a rich history dating back to 1831, Young’s Pubs has not only managed to preserve its traditional charm but has also adapted to the demands of a changing world, placing environmental responsibility at the core of its operations.

Young’s commitment to the environment is evident in various aspects of its operations. First and foremost, we have embarked on a journey to reduce our carbon footprint.

Sourcing locally has been another key strategy we have implemented. By working with local farmers and suppliers to reduce food miles and support regional economies, we can ensures fresher, more sustainable ingredients but also foster a sense of community among patrons.

Recycling our waste

By giving our waste another lifeform, it diverts it from landfill helping to protect our environment both on land and in the sea. Due to our partnership with Suez, 100% of our commercial waste is now diverted from landfill and recycled. Recycling our waste also helps by conserving natural resources, creating new/renewable forms of energy, and creating jobs in emerging sectors which helps to support the economy and making our planet a cleaner place to live.
