THE PIG's footprint was 11,822 tCO2e in 2024, mostly from the food it buys, up from 8,353 t in 2023, and its own operations' emissions rose again in 2025. Its electricity has been on a green tariff since 2025, but gas is its largest direct source and still rising, and its targets are self-set, not SBTi-validated, with food and drink left out of its absolute goals. It sends no waste to landfill and grows produce in its own kitchen gardens, but publishes no water volumes.
