Côte reports operational emissions under the statutory SECR rules, but its Scope 3 covers business mileage only and omits food and other purchased goods, the largest source for a restaurant chain. It sets no reduction targets, and no nature, waste or water data was found. Gross emissions fell as the estate shrank while emissions per site rose, and its headline figure is netted down with offsets.
Côte Brasserie scores 25/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified October 2026.
