Carbon Disclosure Project is a non-for-profit charity that runs the global disclosure system for companies to help manage environmental impacts. Each year, we participate in CDP surveys relating to Climate Change and Forest disclosures annually.

For the Climate Change disclosure, in 2022 we improved our score from B- to B. In 2023, we have maintained our B rating.

CDP have also published their carbon-related Supplier Engagement rating for 2023. Greggs scored an A- (B in 2022). Out score now places us within their leadership banding, showcasing the implementation of best practice and outperforming the industry average at B.

We first participated in CDP Forests for the 2022 disclosure period, sharing information on our use of soy, palm oil, beef and cocoa. In 2023, we have maintained our score of D,C,C,D.

The Business Benchmark on Farm Animal Welfare (‘BBFAW’) is the leading global measure for farm-animal welfare management, policy commitment, performance, and disclosure in food companies. Greggs has participated since it was set up in 2012. During 2022, BBFAW paused its annual benchmarking cycle to revise the criteria that it had used to assess companies for a decade.

From 2022, it published a revised standard with much more stretching requirements.

We are committed advocates for farm-animal welfare and welcome BBFAW’s decision to make its tiers harder to achieve, accelerating the pace of change. In a pilot benchmark of the new standard conducted in 2022, Greggs was placed in Tier Three, well ahead of average.

The Workforce Disclosure Initiative (WDI) aims to improve corporate transparency and accountability on workforce issues, provide companies and investors with comprehensive and comparable data and help increase the provision of good jobs worldwide.

In 2022, we have increased our disclosure score from 83% to 91%. We have also received a special mention for Workplace Action in WDI’s the Workplace Transparency Awards.
