DATA

As the leading pizza brand in the UK and Ireland, we recognise our responsibility to do business in the right way - for our colleagues, the local communities we serve, as well as for future generations.

The Domino's approach to sustainability supports our ambition to deliver a better future through food people love. It challenges us and everyone who works with our business to help us to deliver positive change. It reflects how we connect our purpose to pizza, as well as our actions to the passions of our different stakeholders.

This is our first sustainability report, where you can read more about our sustainability objectives and

how we're going to get there through our five focused sustainability pillars: giving more choice to customers; making sure our workplaces are inclusive; minimising our environmental impact; ensuring our products are responsibly sourced; and supporting our communities.

We are at the beginning of our sustainability journey and understand we have a long way to go. However, we're proud of the progress

we've made so far. We have the right

WELCOME

FROM

OUR CEO

ANDREW

RENNIE

DOING BUSINESS THE RIGHT WAY

During my first six months as CEO, I've been continually inspired by the enthusiasm for sustainability across the Domino's family. To keep this momentum going, I believe it's key for me to ensure our people and our partners are equipped to achieve our collective sustainability goals.

As the leading pizza brand in the UK and Ireland, we have a responsibility to do business in the right way: operating sustainably and building a better future for generations to come. In 2022, we laid the groundwork for a comprehensive sustainability strategy, called 'Connect the Dots', helping us to prioritise, identify and understand our key challenges, such as our carbon emissions. This year, we have published our first ever sustainability report, which goes into further detail on our key focus areas: our customers, people, environment, sourcing and communities.

DRIVING PROGRESS

I've been particularly proud of the way our people

have got stuck into the challenges we face. Our recent

achievements, including the development of our carbon

reduction roadmap, and a Nutrition Strategy, demonstrate

the hard work of our people and their commitment to

ensuring we grow our business responsibly and

sustainably. We may be at the start of our journey,

Andrew Rennie speaking at a Domino's Franchisee event

but these are significant developments, demonstrating

how far we have come over the past couple of years.

ON THE HORIZON

Looking ahead, we will continue to work hard to realise our sustainability commitments across all five of our key focus areas. We must continue to ensure that sustainability is integral to our business strategy, and that we bring our people, suppliers and franchise partners along with us. Our world-class franchise partners are vital to our success both from a commercial and sustainability point of view. I'm pleased to say our interests are aligned as they want to grow their family businesses sustainably as the next generation of franchise partners come through the ranks. I'm looking forward to driving our sustainability agenda forward in my time as CEO. Together, we will continue to innovate and collaborate, and I look forward to updating you all on our progress.

"We have a responsibility to do business in the right way, operating sustainably, and building a better future for generations to come."

CONSUMER TASTES AND BALANCED DIETS

Our customers want to be able to make informed choices that reflect their nutritional or dietary requirements.

CLIMATE CHANGE

All businesses have a role to play in addressing climate change, reducing emissions throughout their operations and driving more sustainable practices.

FOOD SAFETY AND ALLERGEN AWARENESS

There's been an increase in allergen incidents in the past decade, particularly among children. In the UK, on average two children in every classroom, and up to three million people, now have a food allergy.

DIVERSITY EQUITY AND INCLUSION

Diversity equity and inclusion (DE&I) form essential elements of a thriving workplace, creating an environment where every individual feels valued and included. Companies are increasingly expected to show they embrace a diverse workplace to attract and retain talent.

How we're responding

With our Nutrition Strategy, we're innovating to provide balanced choices for all customers across our menu. We're focused on providing transparent nutritional information, such as labelling calories on all menus and on our Domino's app, which we completed ahead of the UK Government's deadline for mandatory calorie labelling.

How we're responding

We've committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050, a target that has been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We're using technology and innovation to target energy-efficient production, as well as building a smarter, greener vehicle fleet. We're also working closely with our suppliers and franchise partners, supporting their own sustainability initiatives.

How we're responding

Allergen management is integrated within our robust Food Safety Management system, covering products manufactured by Domino's, our third-party manufacturers and raw materials. We also partner with national organisations such as the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation to combat allergen-related diseases. By training our colleagues, and making sure we label and flag all allergens appropriately, our customers can have every confidence in Domino's as a trusted brand that they can rely on for both food safety and great taste.

How we're responding

We want to ensure our teams reflect the diverse customer base we serve, franchise partners and store colleagues we work with day in-day out. To do

this we are working to actively attract and retain people with a range of backgrounds, identities, and perspectives, particularly among our senior management. We have stretching diversity, and inclusion targets, which we will achieve through a range of initiatives and training programmes.

ABOUT US

NNECT

CO

THE DOTS

Our sustainability strategy underpins our ambition to deliver a better future and is based around five key areas: customers, people, environment, sourcing and communities.

Each area is important; combined, they have the potential to deliver a better future. We have defined our sustainability ambition and call it 'Connect the Dots'.

MATERIALITY

To Connect the Dots, we spoke to people inside and outside of Domino's about what matters to them - including customers, colleagues, franchise partners and investors. The five material issues outlined below appeared consistently at the top of the agenda; they form the foundation of our Connect the Dots strategy, which we are continuously developing.

1. OUR CUSTOMERS

The food industry has a role to play in helping people follow a balanced diet by providing balanced options and clear nutritional information. Customers expect us to keep up with changing tastes and dietary requirements, so we need to offer more choice.

2. OUR PEOPLE

When our colleagues thrive, we thrive.

By embracing diversity equity and inclusion, we are supporting our colleagues to achieve their full potential at Domino's.

3. OUR ENVIRONMENT

We want to protect the planet by reducing our impact on the environment as much as we can, especially when it comes to waste and carbon emissions.

4. OUR SOURCING

It's not just our own business that we want to be sustainable. We are also working closely with our suppliers to do the right thing and ensure all animals throughout our supply chain are treated humanely.

5. OUR COMMUNITIES

Domino's would be nothing without the communities we serve. We aim to be a positive presence wherever we do business.
