Sustainability

Sustainability lies at the heart of our values, and we aim to make a positive impact on both the planet and society.

We were certified carbon neutral in April 2023, and we are proud to belong to a small group of hospitality businesses that can claim this status.

Every business consumes resources, and we are no different. Our ultimate aim is to achieve Net Zero at the earliest opportunity.

To do so will require a fundamental shift in the hospitality supply chain. Until then, we aim to reduce our environmental impact every year by searching for better ways to do what we do and help our supply chain work more sustainably.

To inspire those interested, we have chosen to share some of our systems and practises in the hope that it may help others on a similar journey.

Doing Good

Being sustainable is about more than just having less impact on the planet. It is also about having a positive impact on society. We try to ‘do good’ whenever possible; below are some examples.

Our sustainability journey
Since opening, we have been committed to reducing the environmental impact of dining at The Pig’s Head.

In partnership with Carbon Friendly Dining and Gift Trees, we previously invited our guests to offset their meals through tree planting. Thanks to this initiative, over 55,000 trees have been planted, each contributing to long-term carbon sequestration and supporting biodiversity.

As our approach to sustainability has evolved, we have transitioned to a broader and more flexible carbon strategy.

Carbon reduction & offset programme
We now support a range of independently verified carbon reduction and removal projects through Gold Standard and Verra-certified programmes.

These projects span both the UK and international communities, including reforestation, renewable energy, and environmental initiatives that deliver measurable climate impact.

Through a voluntary £1 contribution, guests can choose to support this programme, helping us to reduce and address the carbon footprint associated with their meal.

This approach allows us to back high-impact, rigorously verified projects while continuing to improve our own operations.

Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity
We choose not to profit from selling water. We installed a filtration system that also chills and sparkles water.

We charge tables £1.50 for bottomless still and sparkling water, and we donate this money to Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity.

To date, we have donated over £21,000.
