Promote Gender Equality

As one of the signatories of the United Nations Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs), Yum China believes gender equality is a key component of our diversity, equity, and inclusion culture. We pride ourselves in being the leader of gender equality initiatives in the restaurant industry. We have been named to Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for the 5th consecutive year. We are committed to supporting and promoting gender equality in the workplace as well as achieving gender equality at all levels by providing equal opportunities and platforms for female employees. In 2023, we have achieved our goals that at least 50% of our total workforce is female, and at least 50% of all employees hired, trained, promoted, and retained are female.
We strive to provide comprehensive care for our female employees in both the workplace and their family life. In addition to mandated benefits such as maternity leave, extended leave, and care during pregnancy and nursing periods for female employees as well as paternity leave for male employees, we set up dedicated lactation rooms in our workplace to offer privacy and comfort. To provide more convenience for employees, we have introduced parent-care and childcare leave policies. We also offer a series of female leadership training programs to equip female employees with greater professional capability and future employability to achieve self-actualization.
