Environmental stewardship has always been at the heart of how business is conducted at Yum! Restaurants International in Thailand. As the operator of chain restaurant brand ‘KFC,’ Yum! is committed to building outstanding restaurants for Thai society and has been at the forefront of developing green building solutions that meet the bottom-line objectives of people, planet, and profit.  

This holistic approach led them to commit and deliver 11 LEED certified KFC outlets in Thailand. Yum! has initiated its “Building Green Program,” which advocates for and enables KFC franchisees to follow the brand’s construction standards, ultimately empowering them to pursue LEED certification.  

As a leading Quick Service Restaurant Brand, Yum! is continuously working to move the green building industry forward, and to improve the environmental footprint of its restaurants for the country’s path to a sustainable future. For this, they earned a regional leadership award at USGBC Live 2021.
