Significant gapsPending Review

TGI Fridays discloses almost nothing on climate or environment. No Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data; no renewable energy strategy; no science-based targets. UK operations show minimal commodity sourcing controls and some waste tracking, but the US parent—now bankrupt—published zero sustainability information. The company operates with no accountability structure.

About TGI Fridays

TGI Fridays is a casual dining chain founded in 1965, headquartered in Carrollton, Texas. Operating ~380 locations globally, it serves burgers, steaks, ribs, and bar fare. The US parent filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2024 and closed over 100 restaurants. Now majority-owned by Sugarloaf TGIF Management, the chain is mid-sized by revenue but operates with minimal sustainability governance.
