Yum! Brands, the world's largest restaurant company, is proving that sustainability and profitability are not mutually exclusive. The company has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions per franchise restaurant by 46% by 2030-and is already more than halfway to this ambitious target. With investments in energy-efficient buildings, eco-friendly equipment, and sustainable supply chains, Yum! is not only saving the planet but also saving franchisees money.
This green initiative is across the industry, as restaurant chains recognize that environmental stewardship is attractive to eco-conscious consumers and yields long-term cost savings. From zero-waste initiatives to smart packaging and alternative fuels, leading brands are setting new standards for sustainable dining. Yum!'s strategy shows that "going green" is not just good for the planet-it's a smart investment that saves green across the board.
