Dunkin' Brands's reported carbon emissions
As of 2016, Dunkin' Brands reported total carbon emissions of approximately 5,221,000 kg CO2e, which includes 2,656,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 2,565,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions related to business travel. The company has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. Historically, emissions have fluctuated, with total emissions in 2015 reaching about 7,377,000 kg CO2e and in 2014 at approximately 7,020,000 kg CO2e. The absence of a clear commitment to reduction targets suggests that Dunkin' Brands may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Overall, while Dunkin' Brands has made strides in emissions reporting, further transparency regarding climate commitments and reduction initiatives would enhance its sustainability profile.
