Carbon Footprint — Operations: How does Just Eat Takeaway.com score?

DitchCarbon reports 2024 Scope 1 at 5,161t CO₂e and Scope 2 (market-based) at 3,748t CO₂e, indicating GHG Protocol-aligned reporting with multi-year tracking. However, there is no evidence of third-party verification or detailed methodology disclosure in public sources. The company reports via its annual report and Responsible Business Report but limited assurance information is available.

Carbon Footprint — Supply Chain: How does Just Eat Takeaway.com score?

DitchCarbon reports 2024 Scope 3 emissions at 829,610t CO₂e broken down by category, with upstream transportation and distribution (690,003t) and purchased goods and services (106,993t) as the largest categories. However, Scope 3 was not disclosed for 2023, suggesting inconsistent reporting. The supply chain is complex and global, spanning delivery logistics across 17 markets, and the company does not appear to have an active supplier engagement programme on emissions.

Emissions Trajectory: How does Just Eat Takeaway.com score?

DitchCarbon data shows total emissions fell from approximately 905,600t (2023 S1+S2 only, no S3) to 838,519t total in 2024 (with S3 included), making year-on-year comparison impossible due to inconsistent scope boundaries. The company's primary public target is intensity-based: reduce CO₂ per order by 25% by 2025. There is no evidence of absolute emissions reduction across all scopes. Intensity-based targeting while the company is a growing platform is a greenwashing red flag that caps this scor

Energy Source: How does Just Eat Takeaway.com score?

The company committed to switching all offices to green energy tariffs as part of its 2030 net-zero plan. In 2020, only about 25% of facilities had green energy tariffs. There is no recent public data confirming the current percentage of renewable energy, no RE100 membership, and no PPAs. The company is primarily a platform/office operation with a delivery fleet, so energy consumption is moderate. The lack of confirmed progress since 2020 limits the score.

Nature & Biodiversity Impact: How does Just Eat Takeaway.com score?

No biodiversity policy, no TNFD disclosure, and no deforestation commitment were found in any public sources. As an online food delivery marketplace connecting millions of consumers to restaurants across 17 countries, the company's indirect nature impact through its supply chain is significant — food systems are the single largest driver of biodiversity loss globally. The company has shown no awareness of or engagement with its nature dependencies or impacts. For a company of this scale in the f

Resource Use & Waste: How does Just Eat Takeaway.com score?

Just Eat Takeaway has actively pursued sustainable packaging innovation through partnerships with Notpla (seaweed-based packaging) and Vytal (reusable containers), piloted at UEFA events and across European markets. The company aims for 100% sustainable packaging by 2025, with 60% recyclable or compostable as of 2023. However, restaurant packaging choices remain outside the company's direct control, and there is no evidence of measurable circular economy targets or comprehensive waste metrics co

Water Impact: How does Just Eat Takeaway.com score?

No water consumption data, water footprint analysis, or water management policy was found in any public source. As a food delivery platform operating across 17 countries with significant indirect supply chain water impact through the food industry, the complete absence of water disclosure is a gap. While the company's direct operations have relatively low water intensity (offices, data centres), the indirect water footprint of the food system it facilitates is substantial, and no awareness of th

Targets & Commitments: How does Just Eat Takeaway.com score?

The company has set a self-declared net-zero target for Scope 1 and 2 by 2030, and an intensity target of 25% CO₂ reduction per order by 2025. No SBTi commitment or validation was found. DitchCarbon confirms the company is 'not participating in any of the initiatives that we track.' The net-zero target covers only direct operations (S1+S2), ignoring Scope 3 which constitutes 99% of total emissions. The use of an intensity-based target rather than absolute reductions is a greenwashing red flag. N

Transparency & Accountability: How does Just Eat Takeaway.com score?

The company has a dedicated Senior Director for ESG & Sustainability (Robin Clark), publishes a Responsible Business Report, was previously included in the S&P Europe 350 ESG Index, and Sustainalytics rates its ESG management as 'Average'. Emissions data is disclosed in annual reports. However, Scope 3 was not disclosed in 2023, sustainability data is inconsistent year-to-year, and with the Prosus acquisition and delisting in November 2025, future transparency is uncertain. No TCFD or CSRD discl

Controversies & Red Flags: How does Just Eat Takeaway.com score?

Starting at 8: No major environmental lawsuits, regulatory fines, or greenwashing rulings were found against Just Eat Takeaway specifically. No InfluenceMap profile was found, suggesting the company is not a significant climate policy lobbyist. However, the use of intensity-based targets while total emissions are uncertain, and the inconsistent Scope 3 disclosure (reported in 2024 but not 2023), suggest mild greenwashing risk. Deduction of 1 for intensity-based target framing. No evidence of lob

out of 100

Below expectationsPending Review

Just Eat Takeaway reports carbon data inconsistently—Scope 3 appeared in 2024 but not 2023—and relies on intensity targets rather than absolute emissions cuts, a greenwashing hallmark. The company has virtually no biodiversity or water strategy despite operating a food delivery platform across 17 countries. Governance exists but lacks third-party verification and SBTi alignment.
