Zero Carbon Forum

The Zero Carbon Forum is a not-for-profit that provides the UK hospitality and brewing industry with a productive and action-oriented way to collaborate on their sustainability challenges, within their companies and across their supply chains. The forum is supported by UKH, BBPI and BII, and a third of the UK hospitality and brewing industry are members. The forum allows operators to learn from each other, raise their ambition levels, and tackle the bigger challenges together.

Our Measure-Plan-Reduce-Comply framework helps members measure their emissions, get a plan of reduction actions to deliver individually and collectively, and to comply with investor and stakeholder expectations. They can view industry benchmarks to see how well they are performing against others, and we can uncover and collectively act on the challenges that the wider sector faces, for example, supply chain engagement and food innovation.

The forum has won various FoodService Footprint Awards in 2022, 2023 and 2024 for stakeholder engagement and energy efficiency initiatives.
