Chipotle Values

We Do It By Being Real
Chipotle was born of the radical belief that there is a connection between how food is raised and prepared, and how it tastes. Real is better. Better for You, Better for People, Better for Our Planet. It may be the hard way to do things, but it’s the right way.

This isn't just food for thought, it's thought for food
Being real means we only use 53 ingredients you can pronounce
And the only ingredient that is hard to pronounce at Chipotle is “Chipotle.”
(It’s Chih-poat-lay, by the way)
Being real means being committed
Being real means fighting for our planet
We diverted 50% of our waste from landfills in 2021
We are committed
to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions 50% by 2030
Being real means treating our people right
Supporting people who live our values with real culinary training, career opportunities and great benefits.
