Dishing the Carbon on our Menus with Klimato 

As an award-winning restaurant serving the finest steaks from around the world, we know the challenge this poses when talking about decarbonisation and in achieving our ambitious impact and sustainability targets. Since 2016 we have partnered with the ‘Not For Sale’ movement to fight modern-day slavery and since 2019 invested in their global re-forestation projects, to offset the carbon footprint of our beef production.  We continue to put our aspirations into action and find ways to make better choices for what to put on our menus.

This is why M is proud to have partnered with climate accounting experts Klimato to calculate the carbon footprint of each dish on our Group Dining Menus. Through the Klimato platform, we can obtain insights into the environmental impacts of the food and beverages we choose to use, in particular the carbon emissions associated with each ingredient.

We have calculated the carbon footprint of each of our three Group Dining Menus and, as part of our sustainability strategy to tackle the carbon emissions already in the atmosphere from these menus, M is proudly investing in additional offsetting projects with ‘Not For Sale’ providing access to employment for vulnerable individuals through our tree planting projects, which remove carbon emissions from the atmosphere and in doing so make our Group Dining Menu options sustainable and carbon neutral.

Looking to the future, this partnership with Klimato will enable us to make real strides towards our net zero targets, using the platform when designing menus across all our restaurants to reduce the average carbon footprint of a dish across all our menus to our target of 2kgs by 2030.

We are excited for the coming months to see what more we can achieve with the help of Klimato! You can find out more about their work here.
