Chipotle Mexican Grill : Government Relations Contributions Report 2025

2025 Government Relations Contributions Report

Chipotle participates in trade associations and similar organizations that provide a forum to network with our industry peers. These groups represent a broad spectrum of views on industry and policy issues. Mission consistency is important to us, and we regularly review our participation to ensure alignment with our company values. We don't always agree with the views of these groups, and we don't always agree with our industry peers, but we are committed to collaborative problem-solving in a way that fully complies with anti-trust laws. We believe that's the best way to address a problem, have the greatest impact, and get to the best outcome. Our participation in trade associations is subject to senior management and Board of Directors oversight.

The following is a list of the trade associations and similar organizations in which we participated in 2025. The contributions below were made in 2025 and amounts are broken out by total amount paid, type of organization and the non-deductible portion of each payment.
