What is McDonald's doing to reduce its carbon footprint in the UK?

We believe it's important for everyone to help protect and preserve the environment for future generations, and we're always looking for ways to reduce, reuse and recycle in our restaurants and across our whole business. We employ over 87,500 people in the U.K. so if each of them works in a more energy-efficient way we have the opportunity to make a big difference.

Our people are keen to do their bit for the environment, so we've trained our crew members in ways to save energy, for example putting equipment such as grills and toasters into the standby position when not in use. In addition we've installed lots of energy saving technologies in our restaurants to help make things run even more efficiently.
