Applejack's Sustainability Program

Applejack’s Sustainability Program

Understanding our environmental responsibility in hospitality, Applejack strives to operate as a sustainable company.

We work with like-minded suppliers, producers, growers and contractors to minimise our carbon footprint. This ethos extends across all our venues—from practicing nose-to-tail cooking wherever possible and reducing food waste, to using compostable packaging and implementing color-coded recycling systems. We prioritise locally sourced produce and choose sustainable, ethically sourced ingredients wherever possible.

Applejack is committed to continuously improving our sustainability practices year after year.

Our Current Actions

We have started rolling out our sustainability plan across the group with the help of our venue teams.

Here are the actions we have already taken:

  • We have introduced bottle cyclers to all venues. Reduced bottle volume equals fewer and smaller trucks on the road which equals less petrol, less CO2 pollution and as a result less collection noise.
  • Menu collaborations between our chefs and bar managers have been put in place to help minimise any unnecessary wastage
  • We are proud of our waste reduction culture that starts from the beginning with the onboarding of new staff and all the way through to on-shift training and communication.
  • We have phased out all plastic straw use across the group, now only using raw wheat or straw-based alternatives.
  • All venues have introduced compostable containers for any customer takeaways
  • We have introduced colour-coded bins both front of house and back of house to help clearly identify our organic waste and recycling bins
  • Our energy supplier is a 100% renewable power company.
  • We align ourselves with local charities to ensure we are giving back to our local communities
  • We have installed filtered water systems in all our venues to help eliminate packaging and excess bottles.
