Sustainability

As one of the UK and Ireland's most beloved brands, we recognise our responsibility to the environment and society. Here’s what we do for our Planet, Pizza and People.

Planet

We’re going to be a Net Zero company by 2040. From working with our suppliers to reducing waste in every part of our business, here’s what we’ve done so far and what our plans are.

Our Commitment

Net Zero emissions means having to drive our emissions as low as possible and offsetting the remaining amount.
In 2015, governments all over the world signed up to the Paris Climate Agreement, which said that global economies must limit the earth’s warming to 2°C above pre-industrial times. To limit the worst environmental impacts, this needs to be limited to 1.5°C. For this to happen, companies need to reach Net Zero by 2050. We committed to this earlier and ambitious target as we recognise the need for action to happen at pace.

This is what we’ve done so far

What we know

Most of our greenhouse gas emissions come from our suppliers and at the farm level.

How was this measured?

We partnered with consultants who measured our greenhouse gas emissions for a 12-month period. This was April 2019 – March 2020, the latest pre-pandemic period we could benchmark ourselves against. We used the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and multiplied our company activities against emissions factors that were supplied by the UK government, academics, and industry experts.

Pizza

Since 1995, we've worked with the best ingredients we can get for our delicious pizzas.

Sustainability Passata

Our passata comes from Parma, using only fresh tomatoes harvested at the peak of the season. Nothing else is added, except for a bit of salt and pepper, and one fresh basil leaf hand-placed in every can.

Sustainability Dough

Our dough is made by our own passionate team right here in the UK.

Sustainability Mozzarella

Our mozzarella cheese is made from milk produced in farmer owned cooperatives. This ensures better prices for farmers, but better conditions for cows, too.

Sustainability Chicken

In 2020, we signed up to the Better Chicken Commitment. This means by 2026, we’ll require our suppliers to meet their high standards of chicken welfare. We are committed to making progress towards achieving the Better Chicken Commitment and as of December 2024, 100% of our chickens are compliant with all EU animal welfare laws, 100% of our chickens are not in cages or multi-tier systems and 90% meet the air quality standards as outlined by the Better Chicken Commitment. We recognise there is more work to do and look forward to continuing to make progress towards the Better Chicken Commitment.

Sustainability Eggs

Since 2017, all the eggs (shell eggs and in ingredients) in our UK supply chain have been free range. Globally, as of December 2025, we are proud to have achieved our commitment to sourcing 100% of our eggs (shell, liquid, and egg products) from cage-free sources throughout our global operations for all owned, managed, and franchised properties.

People

We look out for our people, both our teams and our communities.

Enable Ireland

Enable Ireland provides disability services from 43 locations across Ireland for over 600 000 people. Demand for their services has grown hugely due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. They partnered with Milano in 2004, and since then we’ve raised over 245 000 Euros for children and adults with disabilities.

Venice in Peril

The charity has worked in partnership with local stakeholders for more than 50 years to protect the city, its culture and its environment. Whenever you order a Funghi di Bosco pizza, a percentage will be donated to the Fund.

Place2Be

Place2Be’s mission is to improve the mental wellbeing and prospects of children, their families and communities across the UK. Through their various support programmes, 70% of children record an improvement in wellbeing, 68% of students cause fewer problems in class, and 75% find it easier to have and keep friends.
