Planet
Natural Resource Efficiency
At PIZZA, we strive to improve the efficiency by which our organization consumes natural resources. We implement industry best practices for water and energy management and closely monitor our consumption of these vital resources.
The Sustainability Steering Planet Subcommittee meets regularly to review our resource management report, monitor developments, and identify new opportunities for reducing water and energy consumption
Water Consumption Reduction
Water Withdrawal (CBM)
Water Intensity** (CBM/PHP Million)

2024

2023
- * * 2023 data has been restated due to the identification of an error in the rate used for calculating water withdrawal for a certain area in one of the business units.
- ** ** Water intensity is calculated as water withdrawn divided by total systemwide sales in PHP. This metric means that for every million Pesos of sales generated in 2024, PIZZA withdrew 62.61 cubic meters of water, decreasing by 6% as systemwide sales grew by a faster rate compared to water withdrawn.
Water is essential to our business operations, from general cleaning and sanitation at stores to the cooking process. We monitor, measure, and analyze our water usage to continuously improve our resource efficiency, ensure the cleanliness and safety of our operations, and mitigate our environmental impact. This is especially important for PIZZA as we operate in high water stress areas, such as Metro Manila.
We invest in technology to reduce our water use, for example by installing automatic low-flow hand washing machines, and engage our stakeholders to use our water resources responsibly.
Energy Consumption Reduction
Total Energy Consumption (GJ)
Non-renewable
Energy Intensity* (GJ/PHP Million)
-

2023
- * * Energy intensity is calculated as total energy consumption divided by total systemwide sales in PHP. This metric means that for every million Pesos of sales in 2024, PIZZA consumed 3,110 gigajoules of energy, decreasing by 13% as systemwide sales grew by a faster rate compared to energy consumption.
Energy fuels our operations, powering our stores, offices, warehouses, equipment, and vehicles, which primarily rely on electricity, gasoline, and LPG. We are committed to minimizing energy use by implementing efficiency measures and promoting behavioral changes. Our approach includes investing in technology like thermal insulation and inverter-type cold storage to conserve energy.
We encourage our staff to actively participate in energy-saving efforts, such as turning off lights when not needed. While we have greater oversight over company-owned locations, we share our energy-saving strategies with leased spaces and franchisees, aiming to broadly reduce our energy footprint.
Environmental Impact Management
Managing our resources responsibly goes hand-in-hand with managing and mitigating our negative impacts on the environment and doing our part in tackling climate change.

- * * Standards used for the computation are based on the GHG Protocol Corporate Protocol and Reporting Standard. Location-based grid emission factors are based on the Philippine Department of Energy. The gasses reported include carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. ** Emission intensity is calculated as total GHG emissions divided by total systemwide sales in PHP. This metric means that for every million pesos of sales in 2024, PIZZA emits 198 tons CO2e of greenhouse gasses, decreasing by 13% as systemwide sales grew by a faster rate compared to emissions.
Our senior leadership team and Board of Directors are jointly responsible for assessing the impacts and developing the appropriate mitigation and adaptation strategies to reduce our carbon emissions and manage climate-related risks.
Effective responses to climate change rely on credible strategies to transition towards a low carbon economy. We strive to increase the uptake of renewable energy in our operations. We are exploring mixed energy sources, such as solar panel installations at the corporate head office, free-standing stores, and commissaries, and use of solar powered water heaters.
Waste from our Operations

- * * The significant increase in the amount of total waste this year is due to the inclusion of hazardous wastes diverted from disposal such as cooking oil and grease in the reported data. Previous years disclosed non-hazardous wastes only.
We implement waste segregation measures, wherever possible, within our stores and across our corporate offices. At our headquarters, we have installed five centralized “Stop Before You Drop” trash bins labeled with different waste types and a materials recovery facility (MRF) to reinforce proper separation of recyclables through behavioral change among our corporate support office employees.

2024
Our customer packaging significantly contributed to 2024 plastic waste. To address this, we’re assessing and minimizing its environmental impact throughout its lifecycle, from production to disposal. In 2024, we continued to use primarily timber-based materials, like cardboard for pizza boxes and paper for takeout containers.
Plastic Footprint Reduction
In 2024, we purchased 92 metric tons of plastic credit to partially offset our plastic packaging. While offsets are an interim measure, we remain committed to reducing plastic use through sustainable solutions.
To ensure integrity, our offsets are audited by Isla Lipana & Co. (PwC), verifying that a proportionate amount of plastic waste has been responsibly recovered. The audit process, initiated in 2023 and certified in 2024, is recorded in the PCX registry and supports our compliance with the Extended Producer Responsibility Act of 2022.

January 2024 marked our fifth year of committing to Plastic Footprint Reduction.
