Our verdict

Bill's Restaurants publishes zero sustainability data across operations, supply chain, energy, waste, water, and targets. A 45-site UK casual dining chain operates entirely blind to its environmental impact. No climate commitments, no supplier engagement, no trajectory reporting.

Bill's Restaurants scores 28/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Scores are free. Nobody can pay to change a score, speed it up or hide it. Last verified May 2026.

That places Bill's Restaurants joint 783rd of 1,023 companies scored, and joint 36th of 53 in Food Service / Restaurants.
