Del Taco's reported carbon emissions

Del Taco currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data, as there is no available information on their emissions in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their sustainability initiatives. This lack of data suggests that Del Taco may not have publicly committed to measurable climate action or emissions reduction strategies at this time. In the context of the fast-food industry, many companies are increasingly focusing on sustainability and setting ambitious targets to reduce their carbon footprints. However, without specific commitments or data from Del Taco, it is challenging to assess their position on climate change and carbon emissions.
