Pending reviewMixed evidence· 8 src

Azzurri Group reports emissions reductions and has implemented circular economy initiatives, but lacks third-party verification of absolute figures and has critical gaps in water monitoring. Supply chain decarbonisation is underway via Foodsteps LCAs, yet no independently verified Scope 3 totals are published. Net-zero 2040 target lacks near-term interim milestones.

Zizzi scores 46/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.

That places Zizzi joint 235th of 847 companies scored, and joint 8th of 49 in Food Service / Restaurants.
