KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and The Habit Burger Grill Parent Takes Strategic Action Across Its Priority Issues of Less Carbon, Better Packaging and More Equality<\/i><\/p>\n

LOUISVILLE, Ky.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nToday, Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE: YUM) released its annual Global Citizenship & Sustainability Report, highlighting the Company\u2019s progress on key issues that include less carbon, better packaging and more equality. The Company has a long history of strategic investment when it comes to the socially responsible growth, risk management and sustainable stewardship of its three priority pillars of People, Food and Planet, what Yum! calls its Recipe for Good Growth. Yum!\u2019s Recipe for Good Growth strategy is grounded in the idea that its business will only endure if its brands are inclusive, sustainable and reflective of evolving employee, franchisee and other stakeholder needs.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWhen we harness the collective power of Good and Growth together, we find they become mutually reinforcing and are capable of creating benefits for the people and communities we serve,\u201d said Yum! Brands CEO David Gibbs. \u201cOur brands continue to make investments in good growth like providing career pathways to more than a million restaurant team members worldwide, constructing and operating new energy efficient restaurants, and exploring innovations for sustainable packaging.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe report reflects key areas of work announced since Yum!\u2019s last published report in July 2022. It showcases progress against the Company\u2019s existing public commitments and covers its citizenship and sustainability strategy. Because of its continued progress and transparent disclosure, Yum! Brands was named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index North America for the sixth consecutive year, included on Newsweek’s ranking of America’s Most Responsible Companies in 2022 and listed on the 2023 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI\u2019m incredibly proud of the sustainability strategy that\u2019s in place for our global organization as we further integrate our efforts into core operations,\u201d said Jon Hixson, Yum! Brands Chief Sustainability Officer & Vice President of Government Affairs. \u201cAs we continue making progress, we\u2019re collaborating closely with our teams, franchisees, suppliers, industry and NGO partners to find solutions that help all.\u201d<\/p>\n
