Subway renews green energy plans
The brand’s new supply contract with Scottish Power will look to save over 30,000 tonnes of carbon per year.
Alan Davidson, Head of Business Sales at ScottishPower, said, “ScottishPower Renewables is one of the largest renewable energy developers in the UK, with wind energy projects stretching from Cornwall to Caithness.”
“Our innovative relationship with Subway is made possible because of our commitment to develop renewable energy, and we are delighted to see that hundreds of Subway stores across the UK have signed-up to the deal.”
Since launching in 2014, over 870 Subway stores have signed up to the deal, which will amount to over 30,000 tonnes of carbon saved every year.
Subway also opened an eco-store in Wrekin Retail Park near Wellington in Telford, Shropshire; the first of its kind for the brand.
Subway Development Agent for the Five Counties James Fleck said, “We have been considering a location in the Wrekin Retail Park for quite some time and are thrilled to be a part of the ground-breaking Eco-Pod building.”
“One of the most exciting elements for me is the unique air-flow system which keeps the building cool in summer and warm in winter, creating a wonderful place for our customers to sit, relax and enjoy their breakfast, lunch or dinner.”
