McDonald's

Our restaurants around the world are finding new and unique ways to be more #sustainable, including a new Arcos Dorados restaurant in Guápiles, Costa Rica. Here’s how they’re helping to advance our #sustainability ambitions: 🌞 Solar panels generate a significant portion of the restaurant’s #energy 🌱 This helps reduce its carbon footprint and enhances energy efficiency and supports #renewableenergy sources 💧 Other initiatives in motion include rainwater recovery for use in irrigation, faucets with flow reduction, LED lights and automatic switching on of signs and exterior lighting to prevent unnecessary energy use Serving up sustainability with a side of #innovation ⚡️

Our friends at Ronald McDonald House Charities are celebrating 50 years! 🎉 They've provided millions of families with physical and emotional support, ensuring access to care throughout their child’s healthcare journey. So, let's take a trip down memory lane. 💭 It all started when Fred and Fran Hill were faced with a medical crisis as their daughter Kim battled Leukemia. This personal journey inspired them to help families like theirs stay together while their children receive medical treatment. With the help of McDonald's Franchisees and Philadelphia's professional football team, they launched a fundraiser and made history. The first Ronald McDonald House opened in Philadelphia on October 15, 1974. McDonald's ongoing commitment to RMHC is a central pillar of our commitment to positively impacting the communities where we operate. We're proud to be the organization's founding and forever mission partner. 💛 #RMHC50

It’s true what they say: good things can come in small (and more sustainable) packages 💕 In the U.S., both the Mini and Regular #McFlurry are now served in a more sustainable four-flap cup, phasing out plastic McFlurry cup lids. This will help reduce waste and advance our goal of sourcing 100% of primary guest #packaging from renewable, #recycled or certified materials by the end of 2025 ♻️ The four-flap cups are currently available in several other international markets like Canada and Indonesia – join us in welcoming them (and their Mini counterpart) to the U.S.! 🌏
