Whitbread

We aim to be a #ForceforGood. We are delighted to announce that we were recognised at the UK Green Business Awards, winning Net Zero Strategy of the Year. ♻️ Our teams across Whitbread are continually finding ways to make a positive impact through our sustainability program. They've supported the business in embodying our values, advancing the cause of the green economy and delivering our net zero transition over the last 18 months. And they did this while opening our first all-electric Premier Inn hotel in Swindon. Our sustainability program is designed to make a positive impact on all our stakeholders, the communities we belong to, and the world around us.
