Resolved: Shareholders request the Board of Directors of Yum! Brands, Inc. (?the Company?) commission an independent third-party audit on the impact of the Company?s policies and practices on the safety and well-being of workers throughout all Company-branded operations. A report on the audit, prepared at a reasonable cost and omitting proprietary information, should be made available on the Company's website. The audit should include:  ? Evaluation of management and business practices that contribute to an unsafe or violent environment, including staffing capacity;  ? Meaningful consultation with workers and customers to inform appropriate solutions, including whistle-blower protections for workers reporting health and safety related incidents; and  ? Recommendations for actions and regular reporting with progress on identified actions. Supporting Statement:   Workplace violence is recognized as a national cause for concern. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) states that acts of violence and other injuries are the third leading cause of fatal occupational injury in the U.S. 1 and that ?workplace violence is a major concern for employers and employees nationwide.?2 It is in the best interests of Yum!, its shareholders and employees to conduct an audit of its policies and practices and take action to limit employee exposure to health and safety risks. Yum!?s ability to attract and retain employees is particularly important to the company?s long-term success, particularly given the high turnover in this industry.  Yum! Workers are frequently exposed to safety risks from customers. In 2023, Taco Bell workers in Detroit were threatened by a customer with violence, and another in North Carolina was shot by a customer. In 2024 a Taco Bell worker in Texas was shot and killed during a robbery and other workers in South Carolina and Illinois were also victims of gun violence.  Workplace safety issues are not limited to customer violence. In June, employees at a San Jose Taco Bell and KFC location went on strike in protest of high kitchen temperatures and other unsafe working conditions. Workers had repeatedly complained to franchise management before going on strike and had lodged multiple complaints with Cal/OSHA. Since many Yum! branded restaurants are operated by franchisees, the report requested by this proposal should evaluate the adequacy of current policies in assuring that the Company learns about potential reputational, legal and financial risks in a timely manner.  Yum! states that it wants to ?foster a culture of inclusion and belonging.? Ensuring that workers health and safety needs are taken care of is vital to that mission, but unfortunately those needs are not currently being met. We urge shareholders to vote FOR this proposal.
