Meeting the energy and waste
challenges of the hospitality sector
As the UK's fourth-largest industry, the hospitality and leisure sector has huge annual energy costs of more than £1.36 billion, contributing more than 8 million tonnes of CO2.
Hotels, pubs, restaurants and leisure centres demand significant amounts of energy and generate large volumes of waste.
Food waste remains the number one priority
Food waste is one of the biggest challenges for the sector, costing the leisure industry alone some £241 million a year - the equivalent of £4,000 per tonne of waste. Preventing avoidable food waste remains a top priority for companies under pressure to improve margins while reducing their environmental footprint.

Pubs & Restaurants
In today’s challenging climate, the pub and restaurant industry is under increasing pressure to make business processes as efficient as possible.
Improving resource management to meet your sustainability needs
Now more than ever, pubs and restaurants are under pressure to do the right thing for the environment and improve the sustainability of their operations.
How can we use data to improve efficiency in your business?
Whatever the size and scope of your business, a large amount of information exists about your waste service, which can be capitalised on to drive efficiency.
Choosing the right waste service, whatever your location
Location is often a key factor in driving pubs' and restaurants' footfall. While a site’s setting holds a certain appeal to customers, it can hinder your delivery, waste and other services.
How to audit your waste and energy operations effectively
Energy and waste are two areas in which efficiencies may be found. Waste management in particular is often overlooked as a necessary service rather than a resource which can be utilised to help your business realise savings.
Engaging staff in your recycling and sustainability aims
Your business may have sustainability strategies in place which promise to deliver cost savings, increase recycling rates, and more. But if you don't engage staff at all levels of the business, it will be harder to turn your sustainability ambitions into reality.
A tailored approach to waste management
We know that a one size fits all approach won't work when it comes to waste management for your pub or restaurant business, as every site has unique requirements and challenges. A site audit can help to inform a bespoke, tailored approach.
Account management that goes above and beyond
Waste management is only a small part of what your relationship with Veolia can include. Your account manager can offer guidance on how we can support you to create a sustainability strategy, and implement solutions that help you meet your goals.
