Chipotle Mexican Grill announced today its ESG goals for 2022 that will impact executive compensation, including targets to reduce emissions, increase workforce diversity and increase sustainable food sourcing.

The release of the 2022 goals follows the introduction las year by Chipotle of a metric tying executive compensation to ESG goals, which the company categorizes by Food & Animals, People, and the Environment. Performance towards achieving the goals can positively or negatively impact 2022 annual incentive bonus by up to 15%.

“Chipotle’s ESG goals are designed to motivate our executive leadership team to make responsible business decisions that Cultivate A Better World. As a company with over 3,000 restaurants and nearly 100,000 employees, we have a responsibility to transparently share our progress and drive positive change.”
