In 2021, QDOBA Restaurant Corporation reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 2,147,639,660 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 1,676,362,970 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 18,875,590 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This data reflects the company's comprehensive approach to measuring its carbon footprint across all relevant scopes, indicating a commitment to transparency in its environmental impact. Despite the substantial emissions figures, QDOBA has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. There are no commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges noted in the available data. This lack of defined targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a strategy for reduction. As a restaurant corporation headquartered in the US, QDOBA operates within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and climate action. The absence of reduction initiatives highlights an opportunity for the company to align with industry standards and consumer expectations regarding environmental responsibility.
