Toby Carvery operates under M&B's group sustainability framework with SBTi-validated targets and measurable waste reduction, but critical gaps remain: no brand-level emissions data, incomplete Scope 3 quantification, zero water strategy, and a documented 2025 incident involving illegal felling of a 500-year-old protected oak tree on council land.
