The Cheesecake Factory Sets 2050 Goals

The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated is working towards an annual reduction of greenhouse gas emissions with the goal of achieving 1.5 degree-aligned net zero emissions by 2050.

The Cheesecake Factory marked the first step in creating its climate strategy by signing the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) Commitment Letter and plans to submit reduction targets to SBTi for validation. Upon acceptance, the company plans to publish its approved targets on the SBTi website and in the company’s annual CSR report.

“This is a natural evolution of our more than 40-year legacy of doing the right thing for our guests, our staff, and our communities,” said David Gordon, President of The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated, in a statement. “Over the last decade, we established a dedicated sustainability department which has been focused on creating and implementing operational programs and an overarching sustainability strategy. We are very pleased to be committing to reduce our carbon emissions as part of that strategy.”

The company previously announced that it will tie a portion of fiscal 2022 executive bonus compensation to its sustainable sourcing policy and climate commitments.
