On May 7, 2025, Chipotle Mexican Grill published its 2024 Sustainability Report, highlighting significant progress in its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. The report details a 15% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions since 2019, with a goal of a 50% reduction in all greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. The company also sourced 61% of its electricity from renewable sources and diverted 50% of its waste from landfills.
In terms of food and animals, Chipotle achieved its goal of transitioning 425 acres of conventional farmland to organic methods ahead of its 2025 target and sourced 47 million pounds of local produce. For its people, 84% of restaurant management roles were filled through internal promotions, and the company hosted 34,000 fundraisers, donating over $7 million to charities.
Separately, Chipotle announced an agreement with Nexamp, a community solar provider, to support 15 new community solar farms with a generation capacity of 75 megawatts across Illinois, New York, Maryland, and Maine. Chipotle is subscribed to credits associated with 20 megawatts from this portfolio, contributing to its long-term goal of 100% renewable energy usage at its U.S. restaurants and providing savings for approximately 9,000 local families and businesses.
