We're a Force for Good at Brewers Fayre
At Brewers Fayre we want to be a Force for Good in everything we do. Force for Good is about helping everyone - our guests, team members and suppliers – to live and work well.
We believe in creating an environment where everyone who works for us can reach their full potential, ensuring we reduce our impact on the environment and invest in the communities we operate in.
We care deeply about you, our teams, our communities and our planet. That’s why being a Force for Good is at the heart of everything we do.
GREAT ORMOND STREET HOSPITAL CHILDREN'S CHARITY
We have supported Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity) since 2012 and – together with our team members, guests and suppliers – we are proud to help make a difference for seriously ill children from across the UK who are treated at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Over the next five years, we’ve pledged to raise £20 million towards GOSH Charity’s Build it. Beat it. campaign, a fundraising appeal aimed at creating a world-leading Children’s Cancer Centre.
Designed with the needs of children and families at its heart, the Children’s Cancer Centre at GOSH will be a state-of-the-art facility built to support children with some of the most complex and difficult-to-treat cancers.
This incredible centre will bring together inpatient wards, intensive care units and operating theatres under one roof, helping the hospital’s specialist teams work more closely together. As well as a cancer day care unit for children receiving chemotherapy treatment, the GOSH Children’s Cancer Centre will also feature a new hospital school and outdoor spaces like a roof garden, so that children have a place to be children while they’re going through treatment.
GOSH already treats the highest number of children with cancer in the UK, and the hospital has a long history of pioneering medical advances and breakthroughs in cancer care. Investment in research and treatment has significantly improved survival rates, but cancer remains the most common cause of death in children aged one to 14, with some forms of cancer only having a 2% survival rate. That’s why building the new Children’s Cancer Centre is so important.
GOSH is hoping to raise a total of £300 million to help drive transformation in children’s cancer care and save even more lives. Find out more about the Build it. Beat it. fundraising appeal and how you can get involved.

FOOD CHARITY PARTNERS
At Whitbread* we are committed to reducing our food waste by 50% by 2030. A key part of this ambition is working with charity partners such as FareShare who help us to distribute our surplus food to communities and families most in need. In the last year alone we have donated over 260 tonnes of surplus food, or 620,000 meals. We’re donating more every week and are pleased that we can do our bit to make a difference in these challenging times.
CHILD NUTRITION
As part of our Force for Good programme we passionately believe in serving delicious great quality, affordable food and drink and want to enable our guests to make easier healthier and informed choices with honest, accessible and clear information. We regularly review children’s dishes to ensure that salt, added sugar, and saturated fat levels are kept to a minimum, while ensuring that we still maintain taste and appeal for children. We also support the five-a-day message and offer fruit and vegetables in starters, main courses and desserts.
RESPONSIBLE SOURCING
Animal welfare is a key element of our responsible sourcing programme and extremely important to us. We work with suppliers who can demonstrate their management of good animal welfare in line with our policies. 100% of our raw beef range in the UK is produced to a recognised farm assurance scheme in its country of origin, such as Red Tractor. We’re also proud to hold MSC Chain of Custody status and 100% of our whole fish is certified to internationally accredited sustainability standards.
MISSION NET ZERO
Reducing our carbon emissions is one of our core sustainability targets and we strive to be an industry leader in this space. We have gained SBTi validation for our overall net zero targets (both near and long-term), the long-term targets commit us to reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions by 99.6% by 2040 and to reduce scope 3 emissions by 90% by 2050. We are working hard to reduce emission across our business, for example, we use 100% renewable electricity in all of our owned and operated UK sites and have been rolling out gas reduction initiatives across the estate, including the electrification of our restaurant grills.
REDUCING SINGLE USE PLASTICS
We know how much our guests and our teams care about reducing their use of single-use plastics and we are striving to do just that. We have set ourselves the target to eliminate unnecessary single-use plastics in our business by 2025. Since setting this target we have made bold steps forward but unfortunately COVID-19 resulted in an increase in the use of plastics in the business. However, we will return our focus to our plastic reduction strategy ensuring we can do all that we can to remove single use plastics from our restaurants and back of house.
*Our Force For Good charity work is managed by Whitbread PLC, which includes our restaurants and hotels.
