Welcoming Culture & Commitment to the Communities We Serve
At McDonald’s, we believe everyone belongs and has the power to help make a difference. This year goes beyond Pride Month; our aspiration is to ensure at every interaction, year-round, our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and other identity (LGBTQ+) colleagues, suppliers and customers feel welcome, comfortable and safe to live life as their true authentic selves without fear of bias or judgement. This also means the full expression of diversity within the LGBTQ+ community—spanning across different genders, races, cultures, identities, sexual orientations, gender expressions, ages, religions, abilities, languages and experiences.
As one of the world’s most recognizable brands, we use our influence and scale to help accelerate meaningful social change for all our stakeholders including our employees, franchisees, suppliers, customers and communities—in accordance with our Mission and Values, and through globally consistent and locally relevant actions.
While all of our diversity and inclusion work spans geographies, identities and causes, this page is devoted to the ongoing and meaningful work done to unite and empower the LGBTQ+ community. Whether you identify as LGBTQ+, are an ally or advocate, or an inclusive leader, celebrate #EveryDayPride and unlock the power of diversity, equity and inclusion across the McDonald’s system and in our communities, today and every day.
