Environment Rainforest Preservation Policy

The preservation of tropical rain forest land is a top priority at McDonald's. Our global rainforest beef policy is simple: we do not purchase beef from rainforests or recently deforested land. This policy has been part of our beef supplier specifications since 1989.

It is McDonald's policy to use locally produced and processed products whenever and wherever possible.

In areas where domestically grown products are not available, do not meet McDonald's quality standards or are not competitive with world prices, McDonald's Canada imports product from approved suppliers in other countries.

This rain forest policy is strictly enforced and closely monitored. Any McDonald's supplier that is found to deviate from the policy or cannot prove compliance will be immediately discontinued.
