Community & Charity
Community & CharityPubs are undoubtedly at the heart of their local communities. We encourage pubs from across Stonegate Group, no matter their location, format or operating model, to engage and take an active role within their local community. We are keen to champion charity and always look to support individual pubs raising money for a worthy cause.
In April 2022 we announced our new Charity Partners, the MND Association (England and Wales) and MND Scotland (Scotland). These charities are working to support people living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and are funding research into finding a cure. To date we have raised £400,000 for the charities through a variety of fundraising efforts by our colleagues, food and drink promotions and donations from our guests.
Previous to this in 2021 our Managed estate raised £315,000 for the British Heart Foundation whilst our Craft Union business have worked closely for a number of years with Only A Pavement Away who work to find employment for the homeless, ex-offenders and vulnerable veterans within the industry.

Stonegate Group are pleased to be a member of the Zero Carbon Forum and are working cross collaboratively with companies across hospitality, alongside our suppliers, to set industry targets to reduce carbon emissions.
As a Group we proactively recycle as much as we can. Across our Managed estate 100% is diverted from landfill, with 69% recycled. We are aiming to increase that number to 75% by the end of 2022. The Group continues to fulfil its obligations imposed by Packaging Waste Regulations based on all recyclables sold to publicans and distributed to our managed estate.
Stonegate partners with Olleco in the recycling of its used cooking oil in the Managed business. Our used oil is refined into a range of products such as industrial oils and renewable fuels. We also continue to work with Publicans by recycling oil with third parties where the used cooking oil is converted into biodiesel.
