Making a Better World, One Pizza at a Time: Our 2024 Corporate Responsibility Highlights

At Papa Johns, we believe that everyone here is a maker – of Better Ingredients. Better Pizza.®  – and a better world. Our 2024 Corporate Responsibility Highlights showcases our commitment to making a positive impact on our communities, environment, and team members. 

Highlights from our work in 2024 include: 

• Community Investment: We invested $1.4 million in local communities in partnership with our franchisees, supported over 290 nonprofit organizations and donated more than 52,000 meals to those affected by natural disasters. 
• Environmental Progress: Route optimization projects for our distribution fleet avoided 164,000 miles of travel, and our Shore Power program, which uses electricity to refrigerate delivery trucks during loading, helped reduce diesel consumption across all 12 of our Quality Control Centers (QCCs). 
• Food Waste: Through our Harvest Program in the US and a partnership with FareShare in the UK, we donated more than 360,000 surplus meals to community organizations in 2024. These programs divert food that would otherwise go to landfills to help feed those experiencing food insecurity.
• Creating Opportunities: We celebrated five years of partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, engaging more than 5,600 teens in leadership programs. And, our Dough & Degrees program has fully funded tuition for nearly 1,000 team members since 2019. 
• Accolades: In 2024, we were proud to be named one of Forbes Best Employers, one of America’s Most Responsible Companies by Newsweek, and one of the World’s Best Companies by TIME.
