Domino’s 2019 water footprint was 85.6 million cubic meters of water.
|
The three main categories of water usage for Domino’s included purchased goods (including the production of ingredients and packaging materials), which accounted for 91% of water usage.

|
Finally, logistics (energy extraction and fuel production for transportation) resulted in 4% of our water usage.
|
A key learning that arose during the footprint measurement process was the data quality from corporate store and supply chain operations, as well as from suppliers, was not as detailed or robust as we would like.
|
One of the more noteworthy items that came to light during our baseline analysis is the large role that our natural gas ovens play in our carbon footprint.
