Wahaca named UK’s most sustainable restaurant chain by Which?

Wahaca has been named the UK’s most sustainable restaurant chain by consumer group Which?

For its first ranking of sustainable practices in the hospitality sector, the watchdog said it analysed data from 22 companies, who responded to questions about how they are tackling their impact between August and November last year.

Which? assessed their answers on emissions reductions, waste and plastic, managing resources, sourcing policies, transparency and customer choice with a points-based scoring system.

The watchdog said all restaurants can do more to reduce their environmental impact.

But it found that chain Wahaca, which has 13 branches in , , Edinburgh and Brighton, came top with a score of 84% partly thanks to strong practices in sourcing policies, transparency and customer choices.
