Del Taco's reported carbon emissions
Del Taco, headquartered in the US, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data or specific reduction targets. Without concrete figures or commitments, it is challenging to assess their climate impact or initiatives. However, the fast-food industry is increasingly focusing on sustainability and reducing carbon footprints. As such, Del Taco may be expected to align with industry trends by developing climate commitments in the future. For now, the absence of emissions data highlights a potential area for improvement in transparency and accountability regarding their environmental impact.
