Live Twitter Chat Tomorrow: #YumRecipeforGood, July 31, Noon ET/9:00am PT

Can a restaurant operator with over 45,000 locations worldwide (17,000-plus locations in emerging markets alone) be truly responsible and sustainable? Yum! Brands believes it already is on that path, and says it is striving to become even more responsible in the coming years. We invite you tomorrow, at Noon ET, to join us on social media to learn the company's accomplishments over the past year, and it what it has in store moving forward.

So please join us for this live 1-hour Twitter chat with Yum! Brands as the company discusses its 2017 sustainability strategy, which showcases the company’s progress and describes the efforts by KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell to generate what the company says is impact in three areas of strategic focus: food, planet and people.

We last hosted a Twitter chat with the company two years ago; since then the fast food giant has embarked on a bevy of corporate responsibility initiatives, including boosting engagement with the communities in which Yum! Brands operates worldwide.
