Chipotle's reported carbon emissions

Chipotle's total greenhouse gas emissions for 2025 were approximately 5.14 billion kg CO2e. This comprises Scope 1 emissions of about 178.72 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 18.50 million kg CO2e (market-based), and substantial Scope 3 emissions of nearly 4.94 billion kg CO2e. The largest contributor to its Scope 3 emissions in 2025 was purchased goods and services, accounting for approximately 4.16 billion kg CO2e. In 2024, Chipotle reported total emissions of about 5.07 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of around 158.53 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 45.34 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions totalling close to 4.87 billion kg CO2e. For 2023, Chipotle's total emissions were approximately 4.31 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 145.48 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 60.42 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions at around 4.10 billion kg CO2e. In 2022, total emissions were approximately 4.09 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 137.57 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of roughly 69.25 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 3.88 billion kg CO2e. Chipotle has established a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, using 2019 as a baseline year. Furthermore, the company has committed to a 50% reduction in absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions within the same timeframe. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are considered consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
