Does Horto measure its own emissions?

Is Horto carbon neutral?

No, and we do not claim to be. We measure, we reduce where we can, and we publish the figures openly, without offsets that would flatter the result.

Carbon Report.

We measure the emissions of every course with an independent consultant. Once a year we publish the figures: what has changed, what has not, and what we intend to try next.

What we measure

The emissions attached to every course: from the ingredient to the journey, from the cooking to what happens to the waste. Not an estimate for show, but a calculation built on real figures from our own chain.

With whom, and how

With an independent consultant, on a recognised methodology. The one-hour sourcing, the energy of the LEED building and the zero waste all enter the calculation: they are the levers we can genuinely move.

What we publish

Once a year we set out the figures: what has improved, what has not, and what we intend to try next. Transparency is worth more than perfection, and a published figure is one anyone can check.
