Inspire Brands was founded in February 2018 with a vision to invigorate great brands and supercharge their long-term growth. In an industry facing increasing disruption, our leaders saw an opportunity to build a restaurant company unlike any other – one that brings together differentiated yet complementary brands and aims to make them stronger than they would be on their own. Found inherently in the purposes of our family of brands, we identified a common thread between our restaurants – the capacity to inspire. From guest experience to career development to community well-being, Inspire plays a role in the lives of millions of people every day. We’re building a purpose-driven organization with a common cultural foundation – to ignite and nourish flavorful experiences. Inspire is investing in best-in-class Centers of Excellence across a suite of shared services to enable efficient operations and drive competitive advantage for our brands. While each brand maintains its own distinct identity, we all share a commitment to fostering a winning culture and organization. At Inspire, we are mavericks and visionaries.

Each of Inspire’s brands takes pride in the food and beverages it serves. Even small measures our brands take today, can have profound impacts tomorrow. We have outlined below our commitment to high-quality menu items, transparency, providing choices, food safety, and responsible sourcing. With more than 32,000 restaurants across the globe, we recognize the impact we can have on the environment. Alongside our franchisees, we are committed to enhancing environmental stewardship of our physical locations in the communities we serve and call home. We continue to innovate and explore ways to reduce our energy and water usage across our portfolio of brands. We will continue to identify sustainable enhancements to our restaurants for further resource conservation and energy reduction. Across our family of brands, we are continuously evaluating our packaging, sourcing ways to improve it to best serve the interests of our guests, our planet, and our business. We proactively work with our suppliers to identify opportunities for innovation and increase the sustainability of our packaging. This includes decreasing the amount of single-use packaging in our system and increasing options that are recyclable, compostable, and/or made from certified materials. In 2019, Buffalo Wild Wings shifted to reusable dishware for dine-in in all franchised and company-owned sports bars. In doing so, we have eliminated 700 million individual pieces of paper and plastic from the waste stream annually. In 2020, Dunkin’ U.S. restaurants replaced the polystyrene cup with a new double-walled paper cup made with paperboard certified to the Sustainable Forestry Initiative Standard. Additionally in 2020, Dunkin’ began testing an industrial compostable straw in select markets throughout the U.S. The straws are made with PHA, a material created by the fermentation of canola oil. While the straws have a similar look and feel as traditional plastic, the PHA material is both marine and soil biodegradable. The straws are certified for industrial compost-ability by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI), which is a globally recognized certification, education, and advocacy organization that supports a shift to the circular economy.
