Chipotle Mexican Grill
Mexican fast casual chain · 4,201+ locations · US nationwide, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Middle East, South Korea
A fast casual chain whose Food with Integrity pledge comes with published sourcing targets it actually meets. Its own restaurants are where the record turns: child labor settlements in three jurisdictions since 2020, and $20 million to about 13,000 New York City workers.
The Big Picture
Since 2020 Chipotle has settled child labor cases in New Jersey, Massachusetts and Washington DC, and it paid $20 million to about 13,000 New York City workers over scheduling and sick leave. Its sourcing goals are real, but its emissions are rising against its own target to halve them. It answers to public shareholders, not its founder.
