Below expectationsPending Review

Pret reports operational emissions with GHG Protocol rigour but lacks third-party verification and renewable energy strategy. Supply chain emissions are quantified but unenforced by supplier engagement. A 17% absolute reduction in 2023 is real but rests on two data points. Critical gaps: no water disclosure, no nature commitments, unvalidated targets, and absent board-level sustainability governance.
