In 2022, Carrols Restaurant reported total carbon emissions of approximately 69,088,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 107,313,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marked an increase from 2021, where emissions were about 63,511,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and approximately 100,260,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. Despite the rise in emissions, Carrols has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at mitigating their carbon footprint. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data suggests a potential area for future focus, as this category often encompasses significant indirect emissions associated with a company's value chain. Carrols Restaurant's commitment to sustainability remains unclear, as they have not publicly outlined any climate pledges or initiatives to address their emissions. As the industry increasingly prioritises climate action, it will be essential for Carrols to establish and communicate clear strategies to reduce their environmental impact.
