Additionally, the company has not outlined any formal reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of data suggests that Whitbread may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy or reporting framework. In the context of the hospitality industry, it is increasingly important for companies to establish clear climate commitments and measurable targets to address their carbon footprint.
