Pret reports group Scope 1–3 emissions in its filed accounts, but without external assurance or an absolute reduction target. Its 337 ktCO2e footprint fell 10% on FY24 (a 53-week year) but is only 1% below FY23. Supply chain dominates, with FLAG food and coffee over half the total, and deforestation risk is not independently verified. No water volumes were found, and its single-use plastic deadline slipped from 2025 to 2028.
Pret A Manger scores 45/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified October 2026.
