Planet

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

We focus on climate, water, waste and packaging through the lens of our core businesses – our supply chain centers where we make pizza dough and distribute other foodstuffs, our corporate-owned stores and offices. By working to partner across our value chain, we strive to ensure that our practices not only support our business but also contribute positively to the planet's long-term health.

CLIMATE

The foundation of our approach to climate is our corporate carbon footprint, which accounts for greenhouse gas emissions across our entire value chain. Using an operational control approach aligned with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP), we measure:

• Scope 1 emissions from direct operations, such as fuel used by our fleet;
• Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling; and
• Scope 3 emissions – including both FLAG and non-FLAG categories – that we influence indirectly through our relationships with suppliers and franchisees.

Domino’s climate action is guided by our near-term and net-zero emissions reduction targets, which are aligned with and validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). In addition to our standard emissions reduction goals for Scope 1, 2, and 3, these targets include specific commitments to address emissions from the Forest, Land and Agriculture (FLAG) sector—one of the most climate-impacted and emissions-intensive areas of our value chain. Domino’s is proud to be the first U.S. pizza company to receive validation for FLAG targets. We are collaborating across our Company to identify and enhance strategies that are designed to help us achieve our targets.

LAND USE

Domino’s Pizza, Inc. has committed to no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities. Through a risk assessment, Domino’s has determined that our primary deforestation-linked commodities are those we have the highest ability to influence – those which we purchase directly: palm oil and soybean oil in our dough, beef in our pizza toppings, and timber and wood fiber in our primary food contact packaging (pizza boxes, corrugated liners, and parchment paper liners). Please see the Domino’s Pizza, Inc. No Deforestation Commitment & Policy for additional details.

Palm Oil

• All in-scope palm oil purchased by Domino’s is sourced from RSPO certified approved suppliers and includes additional supplier controls intended to reduce deforestation risk, supporting our No Deforestation Commitment and Policy.

Soybean Oil & Beef

• The vast majority of our soybean oil and beef purchases are compliant with our No Deforestation Commitment & Policy, with sourcing primarily from countries classified as lower risk for deforestation based on global risk mapping tools and supplier engagement practices outlined in our Policy.

Packaging

• All primary food contact packaging suppliers (pizza boxes, corrugated liners, and parchment paper liners) meet the requirements of our No Deforestation Commitment & Policy, through a combination of certification and risk based sourcing approaches.
• Our pizza and side boxes are FSC certified and contain recycled content, reinforcing responsible fiber sourcing and forest management practices.

WATER

As a food company, water is essential to our business, from agricultural production to food manufacturing, and sanitation. We recognize that water risks are highly localized and vary by region. Our approach to water management is grounded in understanding where water use is most significant across our business and value chain, and in aligning internal teams on how water-related risks may affect our operations and sourcing.

For our owned operations (offices, corporate stores, and supply chain centers), we use a combination of utility bills and estimation methodology to determine our water withdrawal, consumption, and discharge volumes. We use the World Resources Institute’s (WRI) Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas to evaluate the water stress levels associated with our withdrawal and consumption locations and to determine the proportion of our water use occurring in high or very high water stress areas. This assessment helps inform understanding of potential localized water‑related risks that may affect our operations as well as broader enterprise environmental risk management considerations.

We completed a supply chain water risk assessment aligned with guidance from the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN), using tools including the World Resources Institute’s (WRI) Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas and the World Wildlife Fund’s (WWF) Water Risk Filter. The assessment covered our supply chain centers, corporate stores, and selected raw materials to better understand where potential water related risks are most significant across our value chain.

The analysis indicated that purchased goods represent the largest share of our water footprint. As a result, we assessed our most water intensive ingredients and materials including animal proteins, sauces, cheese, vegetables, and corrugated cardboard consumer packaging; and identified nine commodities that account for approximately 75% of our water footprint. We disseminated the water risk assessment findings across cross functional teams to drive internal awareness, strengthen supplier engagement, and help inform responsible sourcing and environmental risk management decisions.

WASTE & PACKAGING

As the No. 1 pizza company in the world, we recognize the importance of continuously evolving and innovating our waste management practices and are exploring ways to reduce waste and improve packaging throughout our value chain. Supply chain center and store operations produce a variety of waste streams, such as dough and other organics, cardboard, plastic, and wood. We continue to investigate ways to reduce operational waste through improved product forecasting, supplier packaging efficiencies, and operational changes to further leverage existing untapped opportunities. Additionally, our pizza and other consumer product boxes are made utilizing recycled content, and since 2022 we have encouraged consumers to recycle the boxes.

Domino’s is proud to serve food that is made-to-order, and as such there is already relatively lower food waste occurring at stores throughout our system. As a best practice, Domino’s store teams – both corporate and franchise teams – order and track incoming food daily and weekly as designed to minimize excess food orders and, ultimately, food waste. Stores use one point-of-sale system that tracks food variance and helps keep food waste at a minimum. These practices not only help reduce overall food waste throughout the system, but also contribute to the overall profitability and operational excellence of Domino’s stores around the U.S.
