Significant gapsPending Review

Itsu operates 80+ restaurants and a grocery business with £176M revenue but publishes zero emissions data, has no climate targets, and discloses nothing on supply chain impact. Packaging waste reduction efforts are the only substantive sustainability work. The company is growing without any documented environmental strategy.
