 you feel good, and our Values and Leadership Principles. Those elements represent the foundation upon which our culture is built. They represent the expectations we have for ourselves and the environment we aspire to create for our Company. We recognize that our ownership-centric culture is vital to our overall success and a key competitive advantage.

Our people are at the heart of who we are at Kraft Heinz. We drive growth through high accountability, development and career opportunities, empowerment, and autonomy. We recognize and reward outstanding and differentiated performance at every level, creating a true spirit of ownership, ambition, and meritocracy. We strive to channel our employees’ passion, curiosity, and attitude to make an impact on our future and our legacy by leading as learners, acting as owners, and being change agents. Our Board of Directors (“Board”), through the Human Capital and Compensation Committee, oversees our human resources strategy and key policies.

Engagement:

We are committed to attracting, developing, and retaining world-class talent and creating an engaging and inclusive culture that embodies our Purpose, Dream, Values, and Leadership Principles. As of December 28, 2024, Kraft Heinz had approximately 36,000 employees globally. Driven by our Value We champion great people, we support our employees’ health, safety, and professional development and reward outstanding and differentiated performance at every level. Our rewards strategies (compensation, benefits, recognition, and wellbeing) aim to help our employees help themselves to LiveWell. LiveWell represents our total rewards offerings that are designed to attract and engage highly skilled and performance-oriented talent, meet individual and family needs, and inspire, celebrate, and engage our people and teams through enhanced interactions in moments that matter in an environment where employees feel productive, trusted, and empowered.

Guided by our Values, we conduct a global engagement survey annually to provide employees with an opportunity to share anonymous feedback with management across a variety of topic areas. The results and comments are reviewed by the Board, senior leadership, managers, and human resources to help determine where changes are needed to support our people and teams.

Our November 2024 survey showed that we hit an all-time high for employee engagement since the 2015 Merger and achieved our aspiration to rank in the top-quartile on the Inclusion Index, which measures employees feeling like their opinions count, belonging and inclusive leadership.

We believe our culture is the secret sauce that sets us apart and drives our success. It is the key ingredient that unites us as a Community of Owners, fosters a sense of belonging
