On today’s International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition, we reflect on its history, the suffering of those impacted by transatlantic slavery and how we as a business can ensure that racism and discrimination have no place within our company or broader society today.   If you would like to learn more about what this day stands for, to mark the 25th anniversary of this day of remembrance, the International Slavery Museum is hosting a Walk of Remembrance starting at 12pm through Liverpool City Centre, pausing at landmarks of historic significance. Additionally, the Royal Museum in Greenwich will be running a series of events, from musical performances to guided tours.

We're committed to championing social mobility, providing everybody, regardless of their background, the chance of a career within hospitality. And one of our social mobility programmes, Releasing Potential, has just reached a significant milestone, recruiting its 250th prison leaver.   Launched in May 2019, the programme supports prisoners to develop new hospitality skills while in prison, with the goal of offering them a job when they're released. We've also invested in kitchens at HMP Thameside and HMP Grampian to give prisoners skills and confidence preparing dishes from our menus, helping to set them up for a second chance when they leave custody.

With more of our customers hitting the roads with electric vehicles, the demand for reliable and quicker charging points across the UK has increased. We're pleased to have recently unveiled our first super-fast electric vehicle (EV) charging point at Hobby Horse Farm in Syston, Leicestershire. This ultra-rapid hub is capable of charging eight vehicles simultaneously at speeds of up to 150kW, meaning that drivers can recharge their vehicle in as little as 30 minutes.   We now have over 1,200 EV charging bays located at our pubs and support centres across the country, with a further 300 bays to be installed by the end of this year, including more super-fast charging points in Greene King pub car parks as part of a partnership with evyve Charging Network.     Introducing EV charging facilities is part of Greene King's wider strategy, which includes improving operations to reduce environmental impact and helping our customers make more sustainable choices, such as being able to search for pubs with EV charging through our ap.  Click here to find out more 👉https://bit.ly/4fnegOp

We're over halfway into 2024 and our amazing team's passion and enthusiasm in their fundraising efforts for Macmillan Cancer Support shows no sign of slowing down! 🤩 We know we couldn't do this without the support and generosity of our customers. Every penny dropped in a bucket, 25p tap or menu donation makes a huge difference to the lives of those affected by cancer - this small change really does add up to make a BIG difference. 💚 We've created this video to say thank you to our customers and to show them the impact their donations make to the support Macmillan provide everyday to those living with cancer. 👇

Throughout South Asian Heritage month, Unity, our ethnic minorities employee-led inclusion group, and their allies, will be sharing and celebrating the rich culture, history and contributions of South Asian countries and their people and highlighting the unique experiences and contributions of our team members from diverse backgrounds.

We had such a great time at our first ever Punt & Dine! The weather stayed (mostly!) dry as we took to the River Cam in punts, followed by a picnic-inspired lunch at Jesus College Cambridge. Thanks to our guests’ incredible generosity on the day, we managed to raise over £12,000 to fund our work, as well as supporting Winter Comforts and the Arthur Rank Hospice Charity, two amazing local charities. A special thanks goes to Rory Laffan for dreaming up and co-hosting the event. Our amazing day would not have been possible without our sponsors’ support: Bidwells, Boxed Events Cambridge, Britvic plc, Cambridge Wine Merchants, Fin Boys, Grain Culture, Greene King, Just Solutions, MEMO, Paddy & Scott's, Scotties, The Gog, The Linton Kitchen, The Manor Florist, Twice Baked Consulting, Vanderlyle & White Rabbit Projects
