More recently, McDonald’s has been criticized for its unhealthy menu and lack of transparency when it comes to nutrition facts. Many of its menu items contain high amounts of fat, sugar, sodium, and calories, making them an unhealthy choice. The company has begun making changes such as offering lower-calorie options and providing nutrition information on its website and in-store, but there is still room for improvement.

While many companies have been moving to renewable energy in recent years, McDonald’s took the unusual step of doing this in concert with companies in their supply chains. The end result is that not only will McDonald’s be cleaner, but everything they sell will have come from cleaner sources. According to the GHG Protocol, supply chain emissions that come from activities indirect to the company, like product transportation and distribution, are classified as Scope 3 emissions. These ongoing emission sources account for an average of 75% of companies’ total GHG output according to a report by CDP.
