Our verdict

The Ivy Collection operates 50 UK restaurants with £327M revenue but discloses no emissions data despite material operational and supply chain footprints estimated at tens of thousands of tonnes CO₂e annually. Policy commitments exist on paper; verified action and targets do not. Expansion continues with zero quantified carbon accountability.

The Ivy Collection scores 29/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Scores are free. Companies can never pay for anything about their own score. Last verified May 2026.

That places The Ivy Collection joint 706th of 934 companies scored, and 33rd of 51 in Food Service / Restaurants.

Limited evidence. This score rests on 3 sources, 33% of them published by the company itself. Every source cited here passed the same quality checks as any other score: all live, none from data aggregators. There is simply less of it.
