SHANGHAI, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Yum China Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: YUMC and HKEX: 9987, "Yum China" or the "Company") has been named to Fortune’s 2025 "Change the World" list, which recognizes companies that drive positive social impact through initiatives integrated into their core business strategy. This year, the list highlights KFC China’s Food Bank program. It marks the second time the Company has been included in this annual ranking, following the feature of its One Yuan Donation Program in 2023.
The KFC Food Bank program, originally launched in 2020 in Shenzhen, has earned wide public recognition, expanding to more than 1,000 stations in over 180 cities across China. The program provides free, surplus food still within shelf life to community members in need via stations located next to KFC stores. This initiative supports local communities while contributing towards Yum China’s target to reduce food waste per restaurant by 10% by 2030 versus a 2020 baseline.
Driven by its commitment to positively impact society, Yum China has also supported the development of rural children with its One Yuan Donation Program, now in its 18th year. Since 2008, the program has raised over RMB 270 million, provided over 59.6 million nutritious meals, and built over 1,500 modern kitchens for rural schools.
Beyond the Food Bank and One Yuan Donation Program, the Company continues to make significant progress towards its sustainability goals. This includes advancing its efforts to decarbonize its operations, re-use and recycle waste materials, and adopt more sustainable alternatives where appropriate – all while keeping food safety as the top priority.
Fortune’s annual Change the World list, now in its 11th year, is selected by Fortune editors based on the magazine’s own reporting and independent analysis, with the most important criteria being measurable social impact, business results, and degree of innovation.
