PizzaExpress operates 460 restaurants globally with zero emissions disclosure across all scopes. The company acknowledges supply chain is its largest emissions source but publishes no Scope 3 data, quantified waste metrics, or water footprint. A 2040 net-zero target explicitly relies on offsetting without a baseline or reduction pathway—greenwashing risk flagged.
PizzaExpress scores 32/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.
That places PizzaExpress joint 557th of 847 companies scored, and joint 29th of 49 in Food Service / Restaurants.
