As a signatory of the United Nations Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs), we are committed to providing equal employment and promotion opportunities for all employees, adhering to the principle of equal pay for equal work. We conduct annual reviews of our compensation and benefits systems to ensure that employees' contributions are fairly rewarded. In 2025, 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.

We are dedicated to providing equal employment and development opportunities for people with special needs, ensuring an accessible, welcoming, and inclusive work environment. The KFC "Angel Restaurants" public welfare model offers equal employment opportunities for people with special needs across China. At the end of 2025, Yum China employed over 1,500 people with special needs. In addition, we established the "Angel College," which provides "Angel Employees" with professional skill training and sponsorships for higher education, supporting their personal development and long‑term career growth.
