Singapore McDonald's

In Singapore, McDonald’s has advocated environmentally friendly practices such as the use of recycled materials and reducing the use of disposables in its restaurants since 1993. The introduction of the condiments bar in 2007 is one such example where patrons are encouraged to take only what they require. McDonald’s has more green plans lined up and will be announcing them soon. McDonald’s is proud to be a sponsor for NEA’s upcoming Facebook contests.

The area in which McDonald’s Singapore focus on in their CSR initiatives concentration is in the area of environment and conservation. Their efforts are focused in developing recycling programs and sponsoring campaigns that protect plant and animal ecology. In this aspect, McDonald’s has been highly participative too, achieving the largest user of recycled paper title and phasing out CFCs refrigerants.

CSR Efforts to the Environment

Being serving to the community, McDonald’s has also adopted the style of being environmental-friendly to the environment by the use of paper containers rather than the use of formacel which contain CFC (chlorofluorocarbons) which are harmful to the ozone layers. Annual cleanup efforts were initiated at the East Coast Park sponsored by McDonald’s for the Go-Green Efforts.
McDonald’s is always challenging itself as well as to its suppliers about the issues of being environmental-friendly as McDonald's realize the importance of good corporate citizen and also being socially responsible towards the community as a whole.
