Before you can deliver responsible food, you need to know what you stand for
McDonald’s faces an array of complex issues that reach from the farm all the way to the front counter, where our customers purchase a Big Mac, a Premium Salad or our world-famous French fries. We do not manage these issues alone. Together with our suppliers and independent franchisees, McDonald’s employees work hard to deliver our products in the most responsible way we can.
We seek to understand the issues, set priorities, stick to them and work hard to make it happen. But first and foremost, we need to know what we stand for. Decisions are driven by what you find at the core. At McDonald’s, it goes without saying that our actions, as a system and as individuals, must reflect our values.
MCDONALD'S VALUES - WHAT WE DO AND HOW WE DO IT
We place the customer experience at the core of all we do
Our customers are the reason for our existence. We demonstrate our appreciation by providing them with high quality food and superior service, in a clean, welcoming environment, at a great value. Our goal is QSC&V for each and every customer, each and every time.
We are committed to our people
We provide opportunity, nurture talent, develop leaders and reward achievement. We believe that a team of well-trained individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences, working together in an environment that fosters respect and drives high levels of engagement, is essential to our continued success.
We believe in the McDonald’s System
McDonald’s business model, depicted by the “three-legged stool” of owner/operators, suppliers, and company employees, is our foundation, and the balance of interests among the three groups is key.
We operate our business ethically
Sound ethics is good business. At McDonald’s, we hold ourselves and conduct our business to high standards of fairness, honesty, and integrity. We are individually accountable and collectively responsible.
We give back to our communities
We take seriously the responsibilities that come with being a leader. We help our customers build better communities, support Ronald McDonald House Charities, and leverage our size, scope and resources to help make the world a better place.
We grow our business profitably
McDonald’s is a publicly traded company. As such, we work to provide sustained profitable growth for our shareholders. This requires a continuing focus on our customers and the health of our system.
We strive continually to improve
We are a learning organization that aims to anticipate and respond to changing customer, employee and system needs through constant evolution and innovation.
