Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
At Jack in the Box, we are committed to measuring, managing and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across our operations. We calculate and report our emissions in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and use this data to monitor progress toward our climate goals.
Our Emissions Reduction Goal
Using fiscal year 2023 as the baseline year, Jack in the Box has established goals to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions 12.5% by the end of 2028 (short term), 25% by the end of 2033 (medium term), and 50% by the end of 2043 (long term).
Fiscal Year 2023 Baseline Emissions
Fiscal year 2023 serves as the baseline year against which our emissions reduction progress is measured.

Organizational Boundary
Jack in the Box utilizes the operational control approach to consolidate greenhouse gas emissions. Under this approach, emissions are included for assets and facilities over which Jack in the Box has operational control. This methodology aligns with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.
Emissions Sources Included
Scope 1 Emissions
- Natural gas consumption at company-operated facilities
- Propane consumption at company-operated facilities
- Refrigerant emissions
Scope 2 Emissions
- Purchased electricity consumed at company-operated facilities
Progress Toward Our Goal
Jack in the Box has reduced total Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 17.1% from fiscal year 2023 to fiscal year 2025.
Notes on Methodology
- Emissions are reported in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (mtCO₂e).
- Global Warming Potentials (GWPs) are based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6).
- Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions are calculated in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.
- Where limited utility data was unavailable, estimation methodologies consistent with the Inventory Management Plan were applied.
