1. Hi there, I was just wondering if your company has ever considered making any of, if not all of its products either fairly traded or organically produced.
Yes, it has been considered and acted upon. Although Fairtrade is the most recognised mark to indicate that suppliers and retailers treat growers and local communities fairly, it is not the only one. McDonald’s has joined 19 other members of the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative Platform, created by the food industry to improve conditions for local communities and will launch a Kenco Rainforest Alliance Certified Coffee range in January 2007. If you would like further information on the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative Platform, please visit the website at www.saiplatform.org, where you’ll find a section on coffee growing. In regards to organic products, McDonald’s does use organic milk in the milk bottles. McDonald’s is continuing to review its organic sourcing policies in line with the availability of organic products and customer demands.
