Yum! Brands 2010 Corporate Social Responsibility Report


Associate Rights and Responsibilities
All our associates have the right to work in a fair and safe environment. Our Worldwide Code of Conduct holds all of us accountable
for ensuring that we treat our colleagues with respect and fairness, allowing them to be recognized and rewarded based on their
performance. For more information or to view the Worldwide Code of Conduct, please visit
www.yum.com/investors/governance/conduct.asp.

Our associates and franchisees are expected to comply with all applicable local labor laws regarding wages and working hours in
every country in which we operate. There is no place in our organization for any type of harassment or discrimination because of age,
gender, race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, or physical abilities.

Ensuring a Safe Working Environment


The safety of our associates is deeply embedded in our primary business objectives and in the activities of our global operations.
Health and safety is managed across all our strategic business units - the U.S., YRI, Yum! China and amongst our franchise owners.
In the U.S., our Loss Prevention team has annual performance goals heavily weighted on safety in company-owned restaurants. Our
China and YRI businesses have similar safety goals. In addition, franchisees and licensees are provided with safety and security
standards as well as training set forth in our operational policies and procedures.

All of our operations around the world are compliant with local regulations regarding safety and injury tracking. In addition, we have
successfully achieved our goal of developing a standardized, injury-frequency benchmarking tool for our international operations. Our
larger business units, around the world, are contributing injury-frequency data, namely the U.K., Australia, and China. Accurately
measuring and understanding injury occurrences will highlight the best safety and security practices in our system, which we can then
share with all associates and franchisees.

We also have a number of programs in place to continuously improve our health and safety program, which includes safety lessons
and safety reviews in all U.S. company restaurants. In the UK, this includes life saving delivery driver training, licensing, and uniforms
for our motorcycle delivery drivers. Members of our senior leadership team are also provided with safety and performance data each
quarter, for U.S. company operations. While participating in market visits, the YRI senior leadership team models safe behavior by
wearing slip-resistant shoes.

Our goal is to continue to reduce the number of accidents and injuries in our restaurants across the world. Some of our major markets
have succeeded in significantly reducing injury frequency rates. In the U.S. the injury frequency rates in our company-owned
restaurants have declined by over 59 percent in the last 12 years (or from 1997-2009).

In markets where we have seen an increase in the number of work-related accidents and injuries, we are working to implement
programs that will address the areas of concern. While this rate remains low, we are taking appropriate measures to reduce these
rates in the future. These measures include increased health and safety training and the implementation of specific programs to
address the areas of concern.
