Darden Restaurants added two new risk disclosures in 2024 centered on the Chuy's Holdings acquisition completion and ESG matters including climate change and diversity initiatives. The company substantively modified four existing risks, notably expanding disclosures on reputation management in the social media era, competitive strategy in evolving consumer landscapes, and technology infrastructure reliability. With 29 risks remaining unchanged and no risks removed, the net effect reflects increased focus on M&A execution and stakeholder expectations around sustainability and governance.
