The Challenge

A major UK pub group faced mounting pressure from investors to enhance ESG transparency and improve reporting across their 200+ locations. Fragmented systems, inconsistent supplier data, and an incomplete view of non-food supply chains made comprehensive reporting almost impossible.

The Solution

Tried & Supplied partnered with them to streamline data across food, beverage, utilities, and property teams, consolidating multiple data sources into a single platform, automating Scope 3 reporting, and surfacing ESG risk hotspots at product and supplier level.

The Result

Less admin, better decisions, and full ESG visibility across the business.
