Wingstop's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Wingstop reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,844,000 kg CO2e, which includes 2,001,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 2,843,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This data highlights the company's operational impact on climate change, with a significant portion of emissions stemming from energy use in their facilities. Currently, Wingstop has not established specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This absence of defined reduction goals suggests that while the company is aware of its carbon footprint, it may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability. As Wingstop continues to operate globally, addressing its carbon emissions will be crucial for improving its environmental performance and meeting the growing demand for corporate responsibility in climate action.
