The move forms an important part of Whitbread’s ‘Good Together’ sustainability strategy and will help the business deliver against its targets of a 26% reduction in energy consumption and a 20% reduction in water use by 2020.
The investment drive will focus on Whitbread’s existing estate and will see the introduction of a package of efficiency measures to help the company reduce its carbon emissions and conserve water.
Chris George, Whitbread’s head of energy & environment, said: “This significant green investment is a major step forward for Whitbread as we continue to drive down carbon emissions and reduce water consumption as part of our ‘Good Together’ commitments. By leading the way in our sector, we can show what can be achieved when you’re committed to taking action on the environment.”
