Caravan publishes no emissions figures, and its accounts fall below the threshold for reporting them, so the size deduction for no own figure (0.70x) applies. It has solar panels at its North London roastery and electric coffee delivery vans, and it buys regeneratively farmed flour and organic coffee. It has no emissions or energy targets, and publishes no waste or water data for its restaurants, which cook with gas.
