The fast food giant McDonald’s has announced the best examples of green projects in its restaurants, franchises and supply chain worldwide, highlighting wind power and waste reduction innovations.
Its Best of Green and Best of Sustainable Supply awards go to franchises, employees and suppliers throughout its business for reducing environmental impacts and cutting costs.
This year’s winners, from hundreds of submissions, were: the company’s UK supplier McCain Foods for using wind turbines to power 60 per cent of a French fries factory; Cargill Kitchen for research into sustainable egg production; McDonald’s Australia for a water use reduction programme; and a number of restaurants in Germany for use of tracking software in waste planning and disposal.
Best of Green was introduced in 2009, and the Best of Sustainable Supply category was added this year. McDonald’s says the awards show that ‘all three legs of the McDonald’s System – our suppliers, our employees and our owner-operators – are [working to] make sustainability and profitability one in the same’.
