Upholding Responsible Marketing

We have formulated and adhere to the Yum China Responsible Marketing Policy. We are committed to maintaining integrity in our marketing practices, avoiding making exaggerated or unsubstantiated claims about the positive social or environmental impacts of our products and services. To ensure our marketing communications comply with laws and Yum China policies, we have established a Marketing and Communications Committee comprising teams from Food Innovation, Food Safety, Legal, Marketing, and other functions, to regularly review our marketing communication contents. Additionally, we provide ongoing responsible marketing training to relevant employees, keeping them informed about the latest review requirements and updates on changes in laws and regulations.

Safeguarding our Brands and Intellectual Property

Yum China attaches great importance to the protection of intellectual property (IP) rights and strictly abide by relevant laws and regulations. We have a tailor-made IP protection system compatible with Yum China's institutional characteristics to safeguard our reputation and brands. We promptly register our IP achievements in order to protect our rights and resolutely oppose any actions that infringe on our rights..

Enhancing Customer Experience
As a leading restaurant company with deep roots in China, Yum China completed over 2 billion transactions in 2025. We place enhancing customer experience and satisfaction at the heart of everything we do and embrace "Customer Mania" as our guiding service philosophy, building a comprehensive closed-loop of "Listen—Understand— Improve" to translate customer feedback into ongoing, actionable enhancements.


• Systematic Listening and Deep Insights: We collect and analyze customer needs and feedback through a diverse range of systems, including our consumer insights platform, Guest Experience Survey (GES), Customer Service Platform (CSP), and others. These tools enable us to continuously deepen our understanding of consumers in a structured and data-driven way. To enhance the efficiency and accuracy of these insights, we actively apply AI technologies. For example, our consumer insights platform leverages generative AI (GenAI) to quickly extract key themes from vast volumes of customer feedback, enabling business teams to rapidly identify issues and develop targeted improvements. In 2025, we further expanded our feedback channels and engagement approaches by establishing communication mechanisms within private-domain communities and designing tailored surveys for emerging business formats to capture nuanced and segment-specific needs more precisely.


• Optimized Customer Complaint Handling System: We have built and continuously refined a multi-tiered customer complaint handling system, strengthening the collection and root-cause analysis of negative feedback across all channels. By introducing refined issue-tagging mechanisms and streamlining resolution processes, we have improved the efficiency and effectiveness of our complaint closed-loop management. During the reporting period, to improve the efficiency of handling customer feedback on online channels, optimize response time, reduce the burden on frontline employees, and free up resources for offline services, we launched a special pilot at KFC restaurants in the selected market. We applied AI technologies to enhance customer service efficiency, granted greater authority to customer service staff, and improved the hierarchical handling mechanism to respond to diverse customer demands in a timely manner. This has enabled rapid online response and closed-loop resolution, reduced the burden on frontline employees, and allowed them to focus more on store operations and services. Supported by data insights, we continue to drive improvements in operational capabilities. Going forward, we will further refine mid-platform functions and processing procedures and gradually roll out these practices nationwide.


In 2024, approximately 87% of our customers used online channels to place their orders.

System
Our information technology systems are protected through technological safeguards and management measures. We detect, identify, assess and mitigate cybersecurity risks by adopting standard risk management methodologies, which are developed based on the international cybersecurity management system standard ISO 27001 as well as the asset-oriented risk assessment framework. To minimize potential impact on business operations in the event of a cybersecurity incident, we have formulated, and regularly tested, our incident response plan (information security-related business continuity plans). We also established a framework for data security and personal information protection, including measures to prevent data loss and detect and block abnormal accounts and activities, as well as systems and processes to prevent, detect and mitigate vulnerabilities. We engage in the periodic assessment of these processes and practices that are designed to address cybersecurity threats and incidents.

Yum China Compliance Oversight Committee (the "Compliance Committee") is responsible for assisting the Board and Audit Committee in overseeing the Company’s cybersecurity risks. The Compliance Committee meets regularly to discuss legal and regulatory developments on cybersecurity, assess the Company's emerging cybersecurity risks and mitigation plans, and determine strategy to promote cybersecurity compliance.

Our internal audit team performs audits to assess the Company's information security system and report audit results to the Audit Committee and the Compliance Oversight Committee.
We strengthened the construction of our information and data security management system.
In 2022, we carried out a comprehensive upgrade of the terminal security protection of Zeus Platform, our core information security protection and management platform, and conducted red-blue confrontation exercises to test and improve the platform's network security capabilities. In addition, we developed a data security platform to execute system data security reinforcement and standardized management of sensitive data.
To ensure compliance, security, and control in our data processing procedures, we have developed a comprehensive "Data Security Compliance Review Process" tailored for different scenarios. We have also issued various guidelines to help employees understand and implement the process.
We conduct data and information security trainings and assessments for our employees as well as third-party suppliers through a combination of online and offline methods. In 2025, all of our office staff completed the required data security training. We also continue to enhance employees' awareness of information security. Employees must understand their roles in the event of an information security incident. We encourage all employees to report any observed or suspected security weaknesses in systems or any suspected or actual security breaches to their management as quickly as possible to limit information security incidents.
