Environmental Footprint

Jesse Page -

For Domino’s, our environmental responsibility is to be good stewards of the natural resources that feed the power of possible throughout our value chain, each and every day. Our responsibility is to help maintain our fair share of the planet’s health through the choices we make and the way we operate our business.

We focus on carbon footprint, water, and waste through the lens of our core businesses – our supply chain centers where we make pizza dough and distribute other foodstuffs, our corporate-owned stores, plus our World Resource Center (WRC) corporate headquarters and our Domino’s Innovation Garage (DIG) buildings – as well as through our efforts with our suppliers.

CARBON FOOTPRINT

Domino’s corporate carbon footprint calculates greenhouse gas emissions across our value chain. We use an operational control approach, aligned with Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP), which includes scope 1 emissions that we directly control in our operations, such as the fuel consumed by our fleet, scope 2 indirect emissions from the electricity, steam, heating or cooling we use, and scope 3  forest, land, and agriculture (FLAG) and non-FLAG emissions that we indirectly influence through our business with suppliers, customers, and franchisees.

As our highest priority within our environmental footprint, Domino’s Pizza, Inc. has approved near- and long-term science-based emissions reduction targets with the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Additionally, the SBTi has verified Domino’s Pizza, Inc.’s net-zero science-based target by 2050. These targets conform with the SBTi Corporate Net Zero Standard and the SBTi Forest, Land and Agriculture Guidance.

Near-term targets:

  • Domino’s Pizza, Inc. commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 50.4% by 2032 from a 2021 base year.
  • Domino’s Pizza, Inc. also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 30% within the same timeframe.
  • Domino’s Pizza, Inc. commits to reduce absolute Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions 36.4% by 2032 from a 2021 base year.*
  • Domino’s Pizza, Inc. commits to no-deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities, with a target date of December 31, 2025.
  • *Target includes FLAG.

Long-term targets:

  • Domino’s Pizza, Inc. commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 90% by 2050 from a 2021 base year. Domino’s Pizza, Inc. also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 90% within the same timeframe.
  • Domino’s Pizza, Inc. commits to reduce absolute scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions 72% by 2050 from a 2021 base year.*
  • *Target includes FLAG emissions and removals.

We are collaborating across all departments to identify and enhance strategies that will help us achieve our targets. For more information, please see our most recent Stewardship Report.

WATER

Water is critical to our business as a raw material for our dough and other ingredients, but also for the safe and effective ongoing operations of our cleaning and processing activities. Domino’s operational water consumption trends align with our business volume and are generally from municipal sources. Due to our food business, however, the majority of our water footprint comes from upstream water consumption associated with the production of ingredients and other key raw materials. For more information, please see our most recent Stewardship Report.

WASTE

As the No. 1 pizza company in the world, we know that we have a responsibility to advance a circular economy, and we believe that starts with evolving and innovating our waste management practices in order to reduce waste and improve packaging throughout our value chain. Our supply chain centers, stores, and corporate headquarters each present unique challenges that we are committed to tackling head on.

Supply chain center and store operations produce a variety of waste streams, such as dough and other organics, cardboard, plastic, and wood. By partnering with both local and national companies, we work to divert much of this waste from landfill. We are continually investigating ways to reduce operational waste through improved product forecasting, supplier packaging efficiencies, and operational changes to further leverage existing untapped opportunities.
