Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]Our sustainability governance structure helps to assure that any activities which may influence policy (direct or indirect) are consistent with our overall environmental sustainability strategy. The Yum! Brands Government Affairs and Global Sustainability teams are closely linked and managed by our Chief Sustainability Officer and Vice President of Global Government Affairs and Sustainability. In addition, our Yum! Communications team manages communications to coordinate consistent communications regarding ESG issues such as climate change. All three groups are part of our broader ESG Council that involves representatives of our brands. This group works on collective strategy and KPI execution and is responsible for communications up and down their portion of the business, regardless of geographic location, so that sustainability discussions and decisions can be communicated across the organization. Our strategy is influenced by our belief that we have a responsibility to reduce our environmental impact and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change, and we recognize that direct engagement with policy makers has the potential to drive changes in legislation that will support our efforts along this journey.
