Revolution Bars scoops green award

Revolution Bars Group has been praised and awarded for its energy reduction being on path to net zero.

As a result of its efforts, the group received the Gold Standard for Environmental Best Practice by The Green Organisation, the international environmental group dedicated to rewarding and promoting environmental best practice globally.

The award, which recognises Revolution's achievement in significantly reducing its carbon footprint, represents a major milestone in its vision to become the UK’s first bar group to achieve net zero by 2030. 

Since 2017, Revolution has delivered a 19% reduction in energy usage – equivalent to a total comparative saving of 4.9m kWh or a saving of 1430 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2), the equivalent of 3.6m driven by a normal passenger vehicle. 

The energy savings include the move to a certified green energy provider and the retrofitting of new, energy efficient lighting and control technologies to minimise energy consumption.

“Our commitment to environmental best practice is central to our long-term business strategy and this award validates our commitment to sustainable practices,” said Rob Pitcher, CEO Revolution Bars Group. “There is no planet ‘B’ and at Revolution Bars Group we are 100% committed to doing our bit to ensure we minimise our impact on the environment and achieve Net Zero before 2030.”

Revolution Bars Group has also introduced its 'Zero Hero' programme, a grass roots initiative to ensure employee engagement in sustainability efforts beyond head office. A sustainability 'champion' is appointed from each location and is tasked with driving greener operations within their bar which includes everything from recycling to working collaboratively with suppliers to encourage change across the supply chain.
