Dunkin' Brands's reported carbon emissions

In 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. This data is cascaded from Dunkin' Brands Group, Inc., reflecting their global operations. Dunkin' Brands has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments suggests a need for further action in addressing climate change. The company operates under the umbrella of Inspire Brands, Inc., which may influence its climate strategies and commitments. As a current subsidiary, Dunkin' Brands is expected to align with broader corporate sustainability goals set by its parent organisation. Overall, while Dunkin' Brands has made strides in reporting emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments.
