The guide, which supports hospitality’s drive to carbon net zero, and in particular the work of the Zero Carbon Forum, explains clearly what the symbols on the energy label mean and how they can be interpreted to give value to hospitality brands. The guide has already met with favourable response from hospitality outlets, as brands continue to strive for increased efficiency and sustainability.

Speaking of the guide, chief executive Nigel Bell said: “Adande as an organisation seeks to deliver the most value in a sustainable way. With COP26 goals firmly established with a view to reversing the damage of climate change, we wanted to give a helping hand to operators as they strive to become more efficient, reduce waste and use less energy. This guide will help hospitality outlets when it comes to purchasing new equipment; the energy label is a great tool to have when making those decisions.”
