CHIPOTLE REPORTS FIRST CUMULATIVE REAL FOODPRINT RESULTS, INCLUDING OVER 616 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER SAVED IN 2025

• For the first time, Chipotle is reporting cumulative Real Foodprint results across all digital orders in 2025, quantifying the estimated environmental impact of its ingredient sourcing standards compared to conventional industry practices
• The company’s 2025 Sustainability Report Update highlights continued progress across its three pillars: People, Food & Animals and the Environment

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., April 22, 2026 — Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) today announced its Real Foodprint¹ results as part of its 2025 Sustainability Report Update, illustrating how responsible ingredient sourcing can help drive environmental impact. In 2025, Chipotle estimates that its sourcing practices could have helped avoid more than 10,060 metric tons of carbon emissions and save more than 616 million gallons of water across digital orders.

Real Foodprint is Chipotle’s first-of-its-kind sustainability impact tracker that estimates how practices like those used for its real, responsibly sourced ingredients compare to conventional industry averages. Available on digital orders via the Chipotle app and website, the tool calculates the environmental impact of each ingredient based on data about similar sourcing practices, and translates it into tangible estimates, showing how Chipotle’s sourcing standards could help to reduce carbon emissions, save water, support organic land, improve soil health, and avoid use of antibiotics compared to conventional ingredients.

Turning Ingredients into Impact
In 2025, Chipotle estimates that guests helped deliver:

• 10,060 metric tons of carbon emissions avoided — equivalent to taking more than 2,000 cars off the road for a year
  • Driven by sourcing ingredients from suppliers with more sustainable farming and production practices
• More than 616 million gallons of water saved — enough to fill more than 930 Olympic-sized swimming pools
  • Reflecting the benefit of water-efficient practices like those employed by many of Chipotle’s suppliers
• 2,230 acres of organic land supported — about the size of 1,600 football fields
  • Supporting farms that meet organic growing standards
• 46,503 acres of improved soil health — roughly the size of Washington, D.C.
  • Advancing regenerative practices that help restore soil and improve long-term farm productivity
• 9,465 kilograms of antibiotics avoided — equivalent to the weight of more than 15,500 Chipotle burritos
  • Reinforcing Chipotle’s commitment to responsibly raised meat
