Greggs has competent operational carbon reporting and clear net-zero targets, but absolute emissions have plateaued despite rapid expansion. Supply chain emissions remain largely unquantified. Water use is unmeasured, nature impact unassessed, and the 46% absolute reduction target by 2030 is not on track.
