Kraft 2010 Annual Report Download - page 11

In the U.S., the laws and regulations include the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and Superfund (the
environmental program established in the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation, and Recovery Act to address abandoned hazardous waste
sites), which imposes joint and severable liability on each potentially responsible party. At December 31, 2010, our subsidiaries were involved in 74 active
actions in the U.S. under Superfund legislation (and other similar actions and legislation) related to current operations and certain former or divested
operations for which we retain liability.
Outside the U.S., we are subject to applicable multi-national, national and local environmental laws and regulations in the countries in which we do business.
Outside the U.S., we have specific programs across our business units designed to meet applicable environmental compliance requirements.
As of December 31, 2010, we had accrued an insignificant amount for environmental remediation. Based on information currently available, we believe that
the ultimate resolution of existing environmental remediation actions and our compliance in general with environmental laws and regulations will not have a
material effect on our financial results. However, we cannot quantify with certainty the potential impact of future compliance efforts and environmental
remedial actions.
Employees
At December 31, 2010, we employed approximately 127,000 people worldwide. Labor unions represent approximately 27% of our 37,000 U.S. employees.
Most of the unionized workers at our U.S. locations are represented under contracts with the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers
International Union; the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union; and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. These contracts expire
at various times throughout the next several years. Outside the U.S., labor unions or workers' councils represent approximately 55% of our 90,000 employees.
Our business units are subject to various laws and regulations relating to their relationships with their employees. These laws and regulations are specific to
the location of each business unit. In addition, in accordance with European Union requirements, we have established a European Works Council composed of
management and elected members of our workforce. We believe that our relationships with employees and their representative organizations are good.
Foreign Operations
We sell our products to consumers in approximately 170 countries. At December 31, 2010, we had operations in more than 75 countries and made our
products at 223 manufacturing and processing facilities worldwide. We generated approximately 57% of our 2010 net revenues, 49% of our 2009 net
revenues and 50% of our 2008 net revenues outside the U.S.
Refer to Note 16. Segment Reporting for additional information on our foreign operations.
