the zero carbon marketplace

Connecting sustainable suppliers with operators.

The Zero Carbon Marketplace is a directory to connect and showcase innovative sustainable suppliers to hospitality operators.

The directory showcases pioneering products and services to help hospitality operators reduce supply chain emissions and reach net zero at pace. The Zero Carbon Marketplace is constantly growing, and suppliers include Wildfarmed, Nutritics, Britvic, Emissis and many more. If you join the Marketplace directory as a supplier, you will be connected to the operators of 35,000 locations.

FOR SUPPLIERS

With up to 90% of hospitality and brewing emissions coming from the supply chain, suppliers have a critical role to play in driving industry-wide carbon reduction.

The Zero Carbon Marketplace offers a dedicated space for suppliers to showcase products and services that support Zero Carbon Forum members on their journey to net zero.

It features a searchable directory segmented by key emissions areas, such as energy, packaging, and food and drink, making it easy for members to find relevant solutions.

Supplier benefits include:

  • Connection to the operators of 35,000 locations in the UK

  • Designed to raise awareness, the marketplace offers opportunities to boost your visibility through enhanced profile options.

  • A simple, low-cost payment structure funds the platform and enables suppliers to benefit from increased exposure.

  • Joining is quick and easy through our streamlined self-serve sign-up process, with supplier listings reviewed and validated for relevance.

FOR HOSPITALITY OPERATORS

The Zero Carbon Marketplace provides our members with easy access to credible, low-carbon solutions tailored to the hospitality sector.

From energy and packaging to food and drink, it’s a trusted source of sustainable products and services, all aligned with your net zero goals.

Curated by the Zero Carbon Forum, it’s designed to help you discover innovation, save time, and take action with confidence.

Marketplace members pay an annual participation fee and minimal revenue share of sales. This funds the marketplace initiative and the work of the forum to reduce carbon emissions across the industry.

Exemptions can apply in exceptional circumstances. There are also opportunities for members to raise their profile to operators through sponsoring case studies and training guides.

Regenerative agriculture creates more resilient supply chains and security for hospitality operators.
