McDonald's is intensifying sustainability efforts amidst challenges posed by its vast supply chains. Despite achieving milestones, like sourcing 100% cage-free eggs in the US, critics highlight that such measures don't guarantee cruelty-free practices. McDonald's is exploring ethical sourcing, packaging sustainability, and innovative designs, like circular restaurant concepts in France. However, ongoing expansion raises questions about the company's true sustainability.
