Our Sustainability Commitments

Hall & Woodhouse is committed to achieving net zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions and fully electrifying all of its pub kitchens by its 250th anniversary in 2027. Backed by significant financial investments, the independent family brewer is heavily upgrading estate energy efficiency and community charity outreach across the South of England. The brewer's sustainability and community initiatives are outlined across multiple key pillars: Energy & Carbon Reduction: Hall & Woodhouse is targeting a transition to 100% electric kitchens, moving from 9 to 23 fully electric operations across its managed pubs. It has successfully lowered gas and electricity usage by 12% and 7% respectively, yielding over ~360 tonnes of CO2e savings. Sustainable Operations: The company holds a one-star rating in The Sustainable Restaurant Association’s Food Made Good Standard. Investments include the rollout of solar panels and draft-exclusion measures. Community Enrichment: The business has set a target to raise and donate £1 million every year by 2027. Recent impact reports outline over £500,000 committed specifically to sustainability projects alongside £100,000 raised locally for charities.
