ENVIRONMENT

Improving the environmental performance of our business is absolutely the right thing to do but

it also makes good business sense.

Our approach

We have always strived to be an environmentally responsible business and we have madesignificant changes throughout the history of our operations as our understanding of

environmental impacts has improved.

We have an environmental sustainability framework in place to assist the business to define and

deliver appropriate initiatives against these five major environmental themes:

Restaurant operations Corporate operations Sustainable supply Advocacy and partnerships Culture and communication

Our impact on the environment is most significant in our restaurant operations in the areas of

energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption and waste generation. We continue toconcentrate on these key areas in performance management and improvement targets, and we

have a number of newinitiatives and trialsunderway to help us meet our environmental goals.

Energy use and greenhouse emissions

In our operations, energy use accounts for the bulk of C02 emissions so our focus in this area is

primarily on reducing electricity consumption. We participate in the federal governmentsEnergy Efficiencies Opportunities (EEO) Program and ourEEO public reportoutlines our

energy usage and identifies opportunities for improvement. We are also required to report ourgreenhouse gas emissions under the federal governments National Greenhouse and EnergyReporting Act and the results for this are published online by theDepartment of Climate Change.

Water usage

We have participated in the Sydney Water Every Drop Counts business program since 2001 andcurrently 194 restaurants in the Sydney Water Catchment are registered with the program.

Participation in the program helps monitor water usage, identify opportunities for improved

water management practices and helps implement water saving measures.

Keeping the streets clean

Our Clean Streets program includes initiatives designed to keep the area around our restaurants

tidy and clean. The key to this is the Litter Patrol program which is a structured and regular task

for crew members who pick up litter from within the restaurant grounds and in neighbouringstreets.

Within the Clean Streets program we also use packaging, restaurant traymats and car parksignage to remind our customers not to litter.

Corporate operations

Our corporate operations need to set the example for our restaurants, and they do. Similar energyand water saving products are installed in the offices as those in place in the restaurants.

These include rain water tanks, dual flush toilets, water restrictors on taps and sensor lighting inthe car parks.

Sustainable supply

Our responsibility to the environment spans the entire life cycle of our products. It starts with thefresh ingredients at the farm and the design of our food packaging, and extends through food

manufacture, customers and waste disposal.

Our environmental guidelines for suppliers are:

Maximise water use efficiencies and eliminate the release of wastes and by-products intothe environment via water;

Minimise the release of harmful by-products into the atmosphere; Maximise energy use efficiency and use ecologically sustainable renewable sources when

feasible;

Minimise waste production, maximise recycling, and ensure proper handling and disposalof solid waste;

Maintain soil health by controlling erosion and improving the structure and fertility; Preserve natural habitats for native species and protection of biodiversity; and Minimise the use of chemical pest management inputs that impact human, animal, and

environmental health.

We use a scorecard to measure supplier environmental performance for water, waste, energy and

emissions related to the manufacture of McDonalds products. Reporting is conducted quarterlyand annually and significant improvements have been tracked by many of our suppliers.

When it comes to packaging and waste we are continuing to explore options to decrease our

environmental impact. Our first priority is to reduce the resources and materials being usedwherever possible. We are a signatory to the Australian Packaging Covenant which commits

participants to a national recycling target of 65 per cent for packaging and no further increases inpackaging waste to landfill. Our action plan can be downloaded throughthis link.

Our annual report can be downloadedhere.

Advocacy and partnerships

More and more we are working with experts, environmental organisations and government

agencies to learn from them, offer our support and build cooperative relationships.

In 2010 we signed up to the Sustainability Advantage program run by the NSW Department of

Environment, Climate Change and Water to assist us in improving our sustainability initiatives.Other relationships include those in place with Sydney Water, the National Packaging Covenant,

and the Australian Government through the Department of Resources, Energy and TourismsEnergy Efficiency Opportunities Program and the Department of Climate Changes National

Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act.

In addition we have offered our support to the following organisations and initiatives over

several years:

Clean Up Australia Australia Zoo Earth Hour

Culture and communication

A focus on the environment is part of our culture and affects the decisions we make every day.

Continuous improvement is also an important part of McDonalds overall business culture andthis attitude also directs our journey towards environmental sustainability.

We have numerous communication channels in place to inform our people of environmentalinitiatives and encourage participation in events such as Clean Up Australia Day and Earth Hour.
