Subway IP Inc. is privately-held and not traded on any stock exchange. Individuals can purchase Subway stores because each Subway franchise is individually owned and operated.

Throughout the year, we buy produce from all over North America, from tomato farmers in Ohio and Arkansas, bell pepper growers in Florida and Canada to cucumber growers in Georgia. No matter where we buy from, we ensure that the growers have met our strict food safety.

Once viewed as a fresh, unique, and healthy option in the quick service restaurant market, Subway has become a stale and mismanaged brand. A host of poor decisions have come to light, causing the chain to suffer some decidedly bad years. In fact, the numbers have continued to drop year over year since 2015.

The majority of our paper packaging is made with recycled content and 100% can be recycled or composted (where facilities exist).

For example 100% of the board used in the Subway® branded hot cups is purchased from PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification – UK) approved sources and is recyclable through a specialist waste site. sustainability of its packaging and operational procedure.

Globally, the plants and distribution centers that we use have been strategically located to significantly reduce transportation costs, fuel usage and carbon emissions. We estimate that this saves 21.8 million truck miles and more than 3.6 million gallons of diesel in the US & Canada annually.

In the past few years, Subway has increased its focus on sustainability, committing to improve its food and operations while minimizing its impact on the environment. In December 2015, Subway committed to only use cage-free eggs in its restaurants in the United States and Canada by 2025.

The SUBWAY® system is committed to providing a wide range of great tasting food choices, while reducing our environmental footprint and creating a positive influence in the communities we serve around the world.

The Subway logo, which is the word “Subway” with arrows pointing out of the first and last letters, is now yellow and green without the dark border. A Subway spokeswoman said the new logo is “a reflection of the colorful array of fresh vegetables and other ingredients” at a Subway shop.

Our ambition is to design and build all new restaurants to be a LEED certifiable (or equivalent) standard, and so far, we’re making good on that promise. We have just a few restaurants in Australia that don’t serve bacon and are locally certified as halal.

Report says NYC subway is the most sustainable public transit system in North America. Though many people have their gripes with New York City’s public transportation system, a new study says it’s No. 1 in North America — at least when it comes to sustainability.

Metro’s CO 2 Emissions On average, traveling by Metro results in 46% less GHG emissions per mile than driving in a single-occupancy vehicle. Calculate your CO 2 savings with Metro’s Trip Planner.

The quick answer is pretty quick: Driving your family from San Francisco to Los Angeles emits fewer greenhouse gasses (GHGs) than flying. To tip the balance further, take-off and landing use more fuel than cruising does, so shorter flights like this one end up being even less efficient than a cross-country route.

Emissions from driving contribute significantly to global warming, as well as local-scale pollution. In cities, emissions from driving often create smog, a condition in which pollution is trapped in an urban area. The poor air quality that results contributes to significant health problems (see Reference 2).

Planes burn up more fuel than cars per journey, and therefore produce more carbon dioxide.

Global aviation (including domestic and international; passenger and freight) accounts for: 1.9% of greenhouse gas emissions (which includes all greenhouse gases, not only CO2) 2.5% of CO2 emissions. 3.5% of ‘effective radiative forcing’ – a closer measure of its impact on warming.
