 The Kraft Heinz Co | Sustainable Packaging Policies for Flexible Plastics |

Companies that do not move swiftly to reduce their use of single use
plastic for packaging also risk reputational damage and lost customers. As recent polls indicate, consumers want companies to take action
on plastics. Eighty percent of respondents in one recent poll favored requiring companies to reduce plastic packaging, increase the use
of reusable packaging, and take responsibility for their plastic waste. In an April 2024 poll, 90% of those polled were
in favor of finding alternatives to single use plastics and 88% called for elimination of unnecessary and avoidable plastic.

| 2. | Kraft Heinz has failed to align its packaging targets with key research and initiatives, including the Pew Report and the Global 
 Commitment.                                                                                                                      |

In 2020, the watershed Pew Report concluded that reduction of plastic
waste is the most viable solution from environmental, economic, and social perspectives. Without immediate and sustained new commitments
across the plastics value chain, annual flows of plastics into oceans could nearly triple by 2040.

The Pew Report states that existing corporate commitments are insufficient
to tackle ocean plastic pollution and that corporations must reduce their virgin plastic use by one third through a variety of strategies,
including designing packaging to be recyclable in practice and at scale and eliminating or replacing single-use packaging with reusables.
The Pew Report identifies flexible plastic packaging as the greatest opportunity to reduce plastic use. With innovation, redesign, and
substitution, 26 million metric tons of flexibles can be avoided globally.

Further, the Pew Report finds that reducing plastic use is the most
viable solution from environmental, economic, and social perspectives, yet broad corporate and stakeholder alignment and action on flexible
packaging solutions is lacking. Both of Kraft Heinz’s sustainable packaging goals fail to meet the size and specificity required
in the Pew Report findings.

Kraft Heinz is notably absent from participating in the historic Global
Commitment. At least 60 consumer goods and retail companies, including competitors Nestlé, Mars, Mondelez, and Unilever, have adopted
goals to drastically stem plastic flows into the ocean by 202
