Dunkin' Brands, headquartered in the US and operating within the "Other business services (74)" industry, has disclosed Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions data for the years 2010 through 2016.

Scope 1 emissions specifically amounted to approximately 2.66 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions, which included business travel, totalled approximately 2.57 million kg CO2e for 2016.
