PizzaExpress publishes a sustainability report but discloses zero emissions data across Scope 1, 2, and 3—despite acknowledging farm-level supply chain as its largest footprint source. Its net zero 2040 target explicitly relies on offsetting and lacks baseline data, interim milestones, or third-party validation. Animal welfare and vegetarian menu choices are genuine; decarbonisation strategy is absent.
