Open Letter from José Cil

for Brands Restaurant

At Restaurant Brands International, our goal is to build the most loved restaurant brands in the world. And in doing so, we remain committed to making real change with the choices we make every day.

As part of that commitment, we developed Restaurant Brands for Good, our sustainability framework comprised of three pillars that focus on our business impact: the food we serve, the planet we live on and the people and communities we support. Whether you are

a guest at Burger King, Popeyes or Tim Hortons at one of our more than 28,000 restaurants in over 100 countries worldwide, our brands understand they have a responsibility to make a positive impact in the communities where we live and work.

There is no doubt that global events continue to have an impact on our business and across the quick service restaurant industry. But we must remain vigilant in doing what's right with integrity and heart and being a part of the solution that we, our guests, employees, franchisees and partners believe in. We have a real opportunity to implement local changes that make global impacts.

In this report, you will read about how we prioritize sustainability, where we are now with our ambitions and how we plan to achieve our goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. You will also read about our actions on sourcing responsibly, improving food quality, reducing our environmental impact, building diversity and investing in people and communities.

Finally, in 2021 we added another amazing brand to our portfolio - Firehouse Subs. While this report doesn't reflect their sustainability commitments or milestones, we plan to include them going forward as we integrate them into our amazing family.

While I am proud of how far we've come in the last year, this is only the beginning. There's still more work to do for us to achieve our goals. We want to continue to be a leader in the quick service restaurant industry and employ a sustainability-led mindset across every aspect of our business. We're excited to continue the positive momentum at RBI through our sustainability initiatives and by continuing to prioritize sustainability, I am confident in our future of making a lasting difference in the world for the better, together.

Thank you,

José Cil

Chief Executive Officer, Restaurant Brands International (RBI)

Serving High-Quality

and Great Tasting Food

Every Day

Food is the foundation of our business and we're passionate about serving our guests high-quality, and great-tasting food they love, every day. To this end, we obsess over food safety, quality ingredients, nutrition, and offering guests choice and transparency in menu options.

Our key areas of focus in our food pillar are:

High-Quality	Offering Choice, Nutrition,
Ingredients	and Transparency

More than ever, our brands are continuously working on offering delicious food that is also free of colours, flavours and preservatives from artificial sources, where possible. Food that is wholesome, innovative, and prepared using high-quality ingredients sourced from trusted suppliers.

We also know that our guests are increasingly exploring plant-based foods. Our brands are responding by introducing more menu options - including plant-based protein and dairy alternatives.

Our brands will continue to provide guests around the world with innovative menu options and equip them with increasingly accessible information about our food and beverages - in our restaurants, mobile apps and online platforms - to help them make informed decisions about meal choices that fit their individual lifestyles.
