We Take Sustainability Seriously

At Snakes & Ladders, we are on a journey to become more sustainable and gradually making changes that take us towards that goal. For example, our building at Syon Park is powered by solar energy, and a large proportion of our lighting is now LED. Other small changes include recycling our disposable cups, and offering a discount on our hot beverages to customers bringing a reusable cup. Some of the steps that we have taken have a bigger impact than others, but they all count.
