We grow sustainably
We remain committed to growing sustainably and being good stewards to the environment. We are using our scale to minimize the environmental impact with a focus on our restaurants and supply chains.
Climate
Climate impact is one of our top material issues. We have a long history of climate action and amplified that by setting science-based targets. In 2021, we announced our target to reduce emissions by 46% by 2030, compared to a 2019 baseline. Our focus is on actions that are most critical to making progress in our restaurant and core protein.
Nature
We have long been committed to reducing our environmental impact by minimizing deforestation risk. Our nature strategy focuses on deforestation and land-use change related to key commodities that include beef, dairy, chicken, soy, fiber and palm oil.
Packaging & Circularity
Yum! is committed to taking a more circular approach to sustainable packaging and waste, which starts with us first reducing, and then mindfully reusing or recycling the waste generated at our restaurants. Reducing waste from packaging, as well as operational waste including corrugated board, food and used cooking oil, are both key issues for our business.
