Pret reports comprehensive Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions data with a credible 17% absolute reduction year-on-year, but lacks third-party verification, renewable energy procurement, and nature risk assessment. Critical gaps: no water reporting despite operating 717 kitchens, no SBTi-validated targets, and no Scope 3 reduction commitment. Plastic reduction is incremental, not systemic.
