Subway's reported carbon emissions
Subway, headquartered in India, currently does not have publicly available data on its carbon emissions, as there are no specific figures reported for recent years. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their sustainability initiatives. In the absence of specific emissions data, it is important to note that many companies in the fast-food industry are increasingly focusing on sustainability and climate commitments. This often includes efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across all scopes—Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from energy), and Scope 3 (indirect emissions from the supply chain). As the industry evolves, Subway may consider establishing measurable targets and initiatives to enhance its environmental impact and align with global climate goals.
