Code of Conduct
Chipotle is committed to the highest standards of integrity in all of our activities and compliance with both the letter and spirit of the law. We expect that you will reflect these standards in your day-to-day dealings on our behalf. This Code of Conduct is for all employees, Officers, and all members of the Board of Directors. It is a guide to ethical behavior. Chipotle has an “open door” policy with respect to any concern relating to compliance with the Code of Conduct and other Company policies, and no person will be subject to disciplinary or other retaliatory action by raising any concern in good faith.

Definition of the Code of Conduct
The Code of Conduct includes this introductory section, "Integrity Statement," "Anti-Discrimination, Harassment and Sexual Harassment Policy," "It’s the Law,” and "Chipotle Confidential." Approval of any activity or matter not in compliance with this Code must be sought in advance and, unless otherwise provided for in the Code of Conduct, may be granted only by a Chief Executive Officer. In the case of members of the Board of Directors and Officers of Chipotle, approvals may be granted only by the Board of Directors or an appropriate Board committee.

Compliance with the Code
If you become aware of a breach or violation of this Code or any other Company policy, you should report the breach or violation in the manner described in this Code under “Chipotle Confidential.” Chipotle will do its best to protect the anonymity of any reporting employee who so requests it, as well as the confidentiality of matters associated with a report or investigation, consistent with the Company’s obligation to investigate reported matters and comply with applicable law. Employees are expected to preserve the confidentiality of investigative matters. Chipotle will take necessary steps to stop unlawful and unethical behavior and may take appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination, against those who violate the Code or other Company policies, including individuals responsible for the failure to reasonably detect a violation or to supervise employees in the fulfillment of their responsibilities in a manner consistent with the Code and Company policies.

Distribution of the Code
Any questions or issues in relation to the Code of Conduct should be communicated to the People Support Department. Members of the Board of Directors and Officers should communicate any questions or issues to Chipotle’s General Counsel.

Integrity Statement
Chipotle’s Ethics and Conflicts of Interest Policy
Chipotle is a company based on integrity. Integrity is about being real and being honest. It means doing the right thing even when no one is watching. These values permeate the way we do, and do not do, business. You are expected to use good judgment, adhere to high ethical standards, and avoid situations that create an actual or perceived conflict between your personal interests and those of Chipotle. Chipotle requires that the transactions you participate in are ethical and within the law, both in letter and in spirit. When in doubt, consult with your Manager/Director or the People Support Department (Officers and members of the Board of Directors should consult with Chipotle’s General Counsel). They will determine if a conflict exists and establish controls to prevent abuse or, if such control is not feasible, they may require that you terminate the activity in question or divest your interest in any relevant transaction. No matter what, each of us must accept personal responsibility for doing the right thing. Conflicts of interests or unethical behavior may take many forms. In the simplest terms, you should act for the long-term benefit of our customers and Chipotle, never for personal gain, or to favor family or friends. What follows are some of the key principles of ethical and conflict-free conduct. There is no way to develop a single set of rules to cover all situations. Rather, this policy outlines basic guidelines for ethical behavior at Chipotle. It does not replace good judgment.

Acceptance of Gifts
In general, you should not accept gifts from competitors, suppliers, vendors, potential vendors, or business entities with which you are conducting business on behalf of Chipotle. You should never accept a gift unless it meets all of the following criteria: (1) it is not a cash gift; (2) it is consistent with customary business practices; (3) it is not excessive in value (i.e., is under $150); (4) it cannot be construed as a bribe or payoff; and (5) it does not violate any law or regulation. If you are not sure whether a gift or proposed gift is appropriate, please discuss it with your Manager/Director, who may, in isolated cases, approve your acceptance of a gift that may otherwise have violated criteria (2) or (3). You may not benefit personally from the purchase of any goods or services for Chipotle or derive any personal gain from transactions made on behalf of Chipotle. Each year, employees in management positions should be prepared to submit a statement disclosing any entertainment, gifts, or services that they or members of their staff have accepted. Any items that have been accepted must be reported at that time, regardless of whether they were previously discussed with your Manager/Director. Your Manager/Director will determine if you may keep the gift, return it, or whether it should more appropriately become Company property.

Giving Gifts
Apart from formally approved incentive marketing programs conducted in the ordinary course of business, gifts for current or prospective vendors or suppliers should be in line with customary business practices. They should be avoided where disclosure would cause negative publicity. The purpose of gifts

Chipotle Code of Conduct (Updated April 2012) Proprietary & Confidential. All Rights Reserved - Chipotle Mexican Grill 2012.

in a commercial setting is to create good will and sound working relationships, not to gain unfair advantage with customers. You should never offer, give, or provide a gift unless it meets the following criteria: (1) it is not a cash gift; (2) it is consistent with customary business practices; (3) it is not excessive in value (i.e., is under $150); (4) it cannot be construed as a bribe or payoff; and (5) it does not violate any law or regulation. If you are not sure whether a gift or proposed gift is appropriate, please discuss it with your Manager/Director, who may, in isolated cases, approve your giving of a gift that may otherwise have violated criteria (2) or (3).

Entertainment
You may accept entertainment invitations, such as business meals, if they are in line with accepted business practices, could not be construed as potentially influencing your business judgment or creating an obligation on your part, and if public knowledge of your participation would not embarrass you or Chipotle. When such business activities occur frequently, such costs should be shared or paid for on a reciprocal basis. From time to time, employees may be invited to a meeting or special event that involves similar offers to large numbers of people from the same type of business. If prior approval has been given by your Manager/Director or an Officer, such events may be attended.

Protection and Use of Company Assets
In a nutshell, you may not use Company property, information, or your position for personal gain, nor should you use assets or labor for personal use. All employees should endeavor to protect Chipotle’s assets and ensure their efficient use. Theft, carelessness, and waste have a direct impact on our profitability. Any suspected incident of fraud or theft of Company property should be immediately reported for investigation. Company equipment and supplies should not be used for non-business purposes, though incidental personal use may be permitted.

Outside Business Activities
It is fine to engage in outside business activities, provided that they do not adversely affect Chipotle or our performance. Obviously, you must not receive compensation from competitors, suppliers, vendors, or business entities with whom you are conducting business on behalf of Chipotle. You have a primary duty to advance Chipotle’s interests; that is what you are employed to do. Outside employment or other business arrangements must not interfere with this obligation.

Outside Business Investments
As an employee, you must avoid financial involvement, outside employment, or any other business undertaking that is competitive with, or prejudicial to, the best interests of Chipotle. You are also prohibited from engaging in business or investment opportunities that are discovered through the use of Chipotle’s property, information, or your position. Notwithstanding, ownership by you or your family of less than 1% of a class of securities issued by a publicly traded company is not considered to be a financial involvement in violation of this policy.

Offers of Employment
Offers of employment may, in some circumstances, be an attempt to divide your loyalties. If you receive a job offer from a supplier, competitor, or even from one of the companies with whom you do business, the ethical course of action is to recuse yourself from making decisions for Chipotle that may affect the supplier, competitor, or other company offering you the job until you have made your decision. If you accept the job offer, you should immediately stop representing Chipotle with your prospective employer.

Chipotle’s Confidential Information
You may not use proprietary or confidential information for personal gain or to Chipotle’s detriment. The improper use of Chipotle’s name, trademarks, or other intellectual property is prohibited. Confidential information must not be disclosed to anyone outside of Chipotle, and should not be discussed with Chipotle employees who do not have a real need to know this information in order to do their jobs. Confidential information comes in many forms and is information not generally known to the public at large or to the industry you are in and provides you with a competitive advantage. As stated in the Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement you sign when you start working for Chipotle, these standards are so important that they must be observed even after employment ends. If you have doubts about whether information is confidential, treat it as confidential and seek the advice of your Manager/Director or Chipotle’s Corporate Compliance Counsel before disclosing it. The intentional or inadvertent disclosure of confidential information could seriously damage the Company.

Electronic Communications and Information
Company computers and networks may only be used in accordance with Company policy and may never be used to access, receive, or transmit material that is illegal. Never send proprietary or confidential communications through e-mail unless appropriate precautions have been taken, and keep your laptop secured. Almost all business records, including e-mail and computer records, may become subject to public disclosure in the course of litigation or governmental investigations. If you would be uncomfortable with a public viewing of an e-mail, don’t send it. You should not introduce any software that is not properly licensed or lawfully acquired to a Chipotle computer. If you download data from bulletin boards, network services, or the internet, you must first scan the data with virus detection software before introducing it to the Chipotle network environment. You must obtain prior written approval from the Executive Director of Information Technology (IT) before introducing any new software to the network. Under no circumstances should you duplicate Company-owned or -licensed software for use on personal or Company-owned equipment without prior written authorization from the Executive Director of IT. Copying such software could be illegal and result in fines and penalties to Chipotle and to you.

Ethical Communications
As an aspect of good judgment and adherence to this policy, it is always appropriate to raise questions and issues, even if they are difficult. Likewise, avoid exaggeration, colorful language, guesswork, and derogatory characterizations of people and their motives. Whether in your everyday work conversations, in your exchange of e-mail, or otherwise, your communications should be thoughtful and ethical. Think before you speak and write. Be clear and objective.

Be Professional
Act professionally and conscientiously when making business decisions. Personal relationships should never interfere, or give the appearance of interfering, with business actions, judgments, or decisions. When making decisions, weigh all factors impartially and without prejudice and make all decisions solely based on merit. Honor your agreements and do not encourage or interfere with other parties’ contracts or agreements. Avoid legal speculation or conclusions in your communications. Do not discuss areas beyond your knowledge or expertise.

Suppliers/Vendors
Treat your suppliers and vendors honestly and fairly.

Political/Religious Activity and Contributions
While any political or religious affiliation you may have is up to you, any activity in those areas needs to remain outside of the work environment. It is said that to avoid arguments, one should never discuss politics or religion in public—and in this case at work. It is also Chipotle’s policy as a company not to make political or religious contributions. It is strictly prohibited to use Chipotle’s name, funds, assets, or property for political or religious purposes or endorsement, whether directly or indirectly. It is also against Chipotle policy to include, directly or indirectly, any political or religious contribution on your expense account or in any other way that causes Chipotle to reimburse you for that expense. In general, the cost of tickets for political or religious fundraising functions is considered a political or religious contribution. Therefore, including the cost of any such fundraising function on an expense account, even if business is in fact discussed, is against our policy and is in some cases illegal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, marketing events that are intended to support local community organizations such as church groups or schools with a religious affiliation are not considered to be 'religious purposes' or 'religious contributions' under this policy. From time to time Chipotle will, within the limits of the law, support or criticize proposed legislation, regulations, or rulings that might impact the business environment in which we operate. You are welcome to participate in these activities on a voluntary basis. The political process has become highly regulated, and anyone who has any question about what is or is not proper should consult with the People Support Department before agreeing to do anything that could be construed as involving the Company in any political activity at the federal, state, or local level in the United States or in any foreign country.

Government Inquiries/Investigations
If the situation ever presents itself, Chipotle will cooperate with government agencies and authorities. Any inquiry, request for information, or subpoena from a government agency or authority should be forwarded immediately to the People Support Department, the Safety, Security and Risk Department or Chipotle’s General Counsel, or in the case of tax audits, the Chief Financial Officer.

Communicating with the Public
Whenever Chipotle communicates with the public, including the media and government agencies, accuracy and thoroughness are critical. In general, only Officers or the Director of Public Relations are authorized to make or approve public statements made on behalf of Chipotle. Public statements should be sufficiently candid, clear, and complete so that they neither mislead nor lend themselves to misinterpretation. To ensure that accurate and appropriate information is relayed to the public, all public statements made on behalf of Chipotle or our business must be made in accordance with the ‘Regulation FD External Communication Policy,’ or if not subject to that policy, must first be reviewed by the Director of Public Relations. This applies to all public statements made on behalf of Chipotle, including those made on internet bulletin boards and chat rooms. Likewise, you are requested to refer any requests for information about Chipotle to an Officer or the Director of Public Relations.

Conflicts of Interest Involving Employee or Employee’s Family
If you have, or someone with whom you have a close personal relationship has, a financial or employment relationship with a competitor, supplier, vendor, potential vendor, or business entity with which you’re conducting business on behalf of Chipotle, you must disclose this fact to the People Support Department. Chipotle will determine what course of action must be taken to resolve any conflict it believes may exist. If the conflict is severe enough, Chipotle may be forced to ask you to resign. Chipotle has sole discretion to determine whether such a conflict of interest exists.

Recording and Reporting Information
Chipotle maintains a system of internal controls that we believe provides reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and are properly recorded. The system is characterized by a control-oriented environment that includes written policies and procedures. All employees are expected to adhere strictly to these policies. Our records are critical in meeting our financial, legal, and business obligations. All records, including employment, payroll and financial data, checks and payments, as well as other essential data, must therefore be prepared with accuracy and care. Dishonesty or carelessness in recording or reporting information, either inside or outside the Company, is not only strictly prohibited, but could lead to civil and criminal liability for you and for Chipotle. Following are important guidelines to adhere to:

• All books and financial records must be kept in such a way as to fully and accurately reflect, in reasonable detail, all receipts, expenditures, transactions, assets, and liabilities in conformity with Chipotle’s internal controls and generally accepted accounting principles.

• No false or artificial information may be recorded for any reason. • Employees are prohibited from making false or misleading statements in connection with any audit or examination of Chipotle’s financial statements and records, business operations, or for compliance with laws or regulations.

• Each employee is personally accountable for the Company funds over which he or she has control.
No payment may be made, or invoice issued, on behalf of Chipotle with the intention or understanding that any part of such payment or receipt is to be used for a purpose other than that described in the supporting documents.

• No secret funds or unrecorded or undisclosed accounts may be maintained or established for any purpose. • No employee may influence, coerce, manipulate, or mislead independent or internal auditors regarding our financial statements, accounting practices, disclosures, or our internal controls or processes. Company records are to be treated as confidential information in conformity with this Code.

Retention of Records
The retention and proper disposition of documents that are produced or received by or on behalf of Chipotle is crucial to comply with business and legal requirements. The law requires Chipotle to maintain certain types of documents, usually for a specified period of time. Failure to retain documents as required could subject you and Chipotle to penalties and fines and seriously disadvantage us in litigation. In addition to documents required by law to be retained, we also want to maintain documents and records with important historical and operational value. In order to ensure the retention of documents as required by law, to eliminate accidental or innocent destruction of records, and to facilitate Chipotle’s operations by promoting efficiency and freeing up valuable storage space, Chipotle has adopted and implemented Document Retention Policies that are specific to each company department. You can find the policies applicable to you at Public Folders/ Document Retention.

Community Activities
As concerned and responsible citizens, you are encouraged to participate in community activities. Chipotle functions as an integral part of the local communities in which we conduct our business operations. Chipotle is keenly aware of the benefits the Company and its employees receive from participating in activities that improve the health, well-being, education, and culture of the community. As partners with our communities, we have a responsibility to support and share in the development of social and civic activities to enhance our quality of life.

Environmental Awareness
Chipotle is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace for our employees and for visitors to our premises. We are equally committed to preventing deterioration of the environment and minimizing the impact of our operations on the land, air, and water. These commitments can only be met through the awareness and cooperation of all employees. Each of us has a responsibility to abide by safe operating procedures, to guard our own and our fellow employees’ health and to maintain and use pollution control systems. In the United States, regulatory agencies exist under federal, state, or local jurisdiction to ensure compliance with laws and regulations affecting safety, health, and environmental protection. It is Chipotle’s policy to comply with both the letter and the spirit of the laws and regulations administered by these agencies and to attempt to develop a cooperative attitude with inspection and enforcement employees from these agencies. In keeping with this spirit, employees are encouraged to report to their Manager/Director conditions they perceive to be unsafe, unhealthy, or hazardous to the environment.

Anti-Discrimination, Harassment and Sexual Harassment Policy
Chipotle believes in the value of a diverse workforce, equal opportunity, and a workplace free of discrimination and all forms of unlawful harassment. We believe in these values because they make good business sense and are the right things to do. Chipotle prohibits unlawful discrimination, harassment, and sexual harassment. Employees who violate this policy may be disciplined up to and including termination.

Discrimination Prohibited
Chipotle strongly believes that employees and applicants for employment should be treated without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, veteran status, genetic information, or any other prohibited basis. This applies to all employment practices, including recruiting, hiring, pay, performance reviews, training and development, promotions, and other terms and conditions of employment. Discrimination or harassment of an employee—whether by another employee, supplier, vendor, or customer—is strictly prohibited.

Harassment Prohibited
At Chipotle, no form of harassment is acceptable. This includes joking remarks or other abusive conduct (including verbal, non-verbal, or physical conduct) that demeans or shows hostility toward an individual because of his or her race, color, religion, national origin, gender, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, veteran status, genetic information, or any other prohibited basis and that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment; unreasonably interferes with an individual’s work performance; or otherwise adversely affects an individual's employment opportunities.

Sexual Harassment Prohibited
Chipotle is firmly committed to maintaining a positive working environment for all employees, whether male or female. Sexual harassment is prohibited because it may be intimidating or an abuse of power and it is inconsistent with our policies, practices, and management philosophy. Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and certain other verbal, non-verbal, or physical conduct that is sexual or based on gender if that conduct could reasonably offend another person, whether or not such conduct was intended to offend. Examples of sexual harassment can include the following:

• Verbal harassment, including jokes, comments, or threats relating to sexual activity, body parts, or other matters of a sexual nature.

• Non-verbal harassment, including staring at a person’s body in a sexually suggestive manner, sexually related gestures or motions, and/or circulating sexually suggestive materials.

• Unwelcome physical conduct, including grabbing, holding, hugging, kissing, tickling, massaging, displaying private body parts, unnecessary touching, or other unwelcome physical conduct.

Chipotle Code of Conduct (Updated April 2012) Proprietary & Confidential. All Rights Reserved - Chipotle Mexican Grill 2012.

9

• An employment decision (including promotion, demotion, compensation, scheduling) made by a
Manager/Director based on the employee’s submission to or rejection of sexual conduct.

• Submission to sexual conduct as an implicit or explicit condition of getting or keeping a job. • Conduct that denigrates or shows hostility or aversion to a person because of his or her gender and creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment.

• Any other sexual conduct that unreasonably interferes with another person’s work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment, or adversely affects another person’s employment opportunities. All employees are required to adhere to this sexual harassment policy while on the premises, while engaging in work-related activities, during Company-sponsored trainings and other functions, and at non-Company activities when conduct at these activities would affect the work environment.

Employee Recourse
Every employee has the right, and is encouraged, to tell any Chipotle employee in a professional manner to stop behavior towards him or her that the employee believes to be discriminatory, harassing, and/ or offensive. Any employee who feels subjected to discrimination, harassment, or sexual harassment should immediately report such behavior directly to his or her Manager/Director. If you are unable to speak with your Manager, or if you have spoken with him/her and still need assistance, then contact your Manager's Manager or Director. An employee can also contact the Confidential Respectful Workplace Hotline toll free at 1-877-625-1919. Reports may be made at any time on any day. An objective investigation will be conducted based on the facts presented. If the results of the investigation confirm the offense, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken against the person violating the policy, ranging from a warning to termination.

Management’s Responsibility
It is the responsibility of every employee to prevent discrimination, harassment, and sexual harassment. Management employees who witness or receive reports of discriminatory or harassing behavior are required to take appropriate action, including immediately reporting such behavior to their Manager/ Director. Management employees who fail to promptly report such behavior may be subject to discipline, up to and including termination.

Retaliation Prohibited
Chipotle encourages employees to freely report incidents of discrimination or harassment without fear of reprisal. Retaliation against any employee who has made a complaint in good faith about discrimination, harassment, or sexual harassment, or who has cooperated in the investigation of such a complaint, is prohibited. Retaliation includes any employment decision or other conduct made with the intent to punish an employee for complaining about or assisting in the investigation of discrimination or harassment, and any decision or conduct that might have discouraged a reasonable employee from making a complaint or cooperating in an investigation.

Policy Regarding Employee Treatment of Customers and Suppliers
Chipotle employees are prohibited from discriminating against or harassing customers and suppliers based on race, color, religion, national origin, gender, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, veteran status, genetic information, or any other prohibited basis, both in the course of work-related activities and at Company-sponsored trainings and functions. Management employees who witness or receive reports of discriminatory or harassing behavior are required to take appropriate action, including immediately reporting such behavior directly to the Manager/Director in charge or to their Manager's Manager or Director.

It’s the Law
Chipotle strives to be an honorable company and employer. Our employees must always operate within the law in all business dealings. It is our policy that the Company and our employees obey all applicable federal, state, local, and international laws and regulations. Employees have a personal responsibility to become familiar and comply with the laws and regulations related to job responsibilities. There are also other laws, not directly related to your job but of general relevance to work situations, of which you should be aware. If you have any questions about what is within the law and what is not, seek advice from Chipotle’s Corporate Compliance Counsel. Noted below are some of the most important laws that apply to the Company, our employees, and our business dealings.

Securities Laws
These laws forbid individuals and corporations from profiting from material non-public information, or “inside” information, that could influence decisions to buy, sell, or hold particular securities. Such information may relate to the financial condition of a company, its products and the market for its securities, or its investment intentions or plans for a merger, acquisition, or divestiture. You may not make trades of securities based on material inside information or give such information to others. For additional information, you should refer to the Company’s “Insider Trading Policy,” which can be found in Public Folders/Store-Staff Info/Insider Trading Information.

Antitrust and Trade Regulation Laws
These laws prohibit actions that restrain competition. They are designed to protect the free enterprise system from corruption and abuse. It is your duty as a corporate citizen to comply with these laws. Chipotle will compete vigorously on the merits of our products and services and will not engage in unlawful methods of competition. You may not, for example, cooperate with competitors to fix or stabilize prices, “divide up” customers or markets with competitors, boycott competitors or customers, or otherwise interfere with free competition. You should not even discuss the possibility of such activities with competitors. You may not reveal the nature or contents of sealed bids to any supplier or potential supplier. Chipotle will require any supplier selected on the basis of a sealed bidding process to certify that it has not seen or been informed of the nature or contents of any other submitted sealed bid. The antitrust and trade regulation laws also prohibit certain kinds of tie-in sales, discriminatory pricing, exclusive dealing, and other practices that would be unfair to customers.

Bribery, Kickbacks and Rebates
Bribery in any form, commercial or political, is forbidden in all Company business dealings. Chipotle funds may not be used, either directly or indirectly, for any bribe, kickback, or other unlawful payment anywhere in the world under any circumstances.

Chipotle Code of Conduct (Updated April 2012) Proprietary & Confidential. All Rights Reserved - Chipotle Mexican Grill 2012.

12

The purchase or sale of goods and services on behalf of Chipotle must not lead to employees or their families receiving personal kickbacks or rebates. Kickbacks and rebates can take many forms and are not limited to direct cash payments or credits in connection with a particular transaction. In general, if you or your family stand to gain personally from the transaction, it is prohibited. Such practices are not only unethical, but are in many cases illegal.

Payments to Government Employees—Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
No payments of Company money, gifts, services, entertainment, or anything else of value may be offered or made available in any amount, directly or indirectly, to any government official or employee. Such payments or offers are not legal in the United States. Such payments may not be made in other countries, even if legal there, if they are in violation of U.S. law, notably the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, regardless of the nationality of the recipient. The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is applicable to the Company and prohibits certain payments to foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining, retaining, or directing business. Employees who interact with such officials or foreign entities are required to become familiar with and comply with this law. If in doubt, consult Chipotle’s Corporate Compliance Counsel.

Chipotle Confidential
Whistleblower Policy
We want you to report any complaints or concerns you have about our business and operations, including but not limited to accounting and internal accounting controls, audit matters, and any violations of the Code of Conduct. Each complaint will be treated as confidential and the anonymity of the complainant, if requested, will be preserved to the fullest extent reasonably possible in light of Chipotle’s need to investigate the complaint, the requirements of applicable law, and other Company policies. Chipotle will not allow any form of disciplinary or retaliatory action related to the terms and conditions of employment against employees who raise concerns or ask questions or who provide information or assistance in connection with any governmental proceeding or inquiry. In order to ensure that employees feel comfortable in reporting any complaint, concern, violation/ potential violation, or any wrongdoing, Chipotle has set up “Chipotle Confidential”—a hotline that accepts calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Chipotle Confidential is run by an outside company that specializes in handling calls while preserving the privacy of callers. You can phone 1-866-755-4449 or you can log on to Chipotle Confidential at www.chipotleconfidential.com. All complaints will be thoroughly reviewed, documented, and appropriately addressed by a member of Chipotle’s management. As necessary and appropriate, complaints may also be reviewed and addressed by members of the Board of Directors. The outside company that runs Chipotle Confidential also supervises the maintenance of a log of all complaints received by Chipotle Confidential. The log includes the file number of the complaint, the date it was received, a brief summary of the complaint, action taken, and the status of the file as pending or closed. Review of complaints received via Chipotle Confidential commences within 24 hours of receipt. Chipotle’s Audit Committee, which is a committee of the Board of Directors, has full access to the complaint log, complaint reports, and related materials.
