O'Neill's Reading focuses on sustainability
The UK is on a mission to hit its net zero carbon emissions target by 2050 and O'Neill's Reading is helping do our bit to help turn this vision into reality.
We’ve recently taken a look at our carbon footprint and come with a plan for how we can be more sustainable in everything we do.
We’ve made lots of great progress to date, but recognise there’s lots of other things we can and are doing. Overall, we’ve been making lots of small, but important sustainability-focused changes, as well as making sure we’re still the place you can come to for all the craic and good food and drinks.
Our parent company Mitchell's & Butlers has established a series of directives that will add up to big improvements over the coming years.
Our sustainability plan means we’re focused on:
