Thirty McDonald’s employees were out in force on Friday 29 May, helping the local environment by planting over 200 trees and shrubs at the afforestation project at Wied Ghollieqa, San Gwann. They were taking part in an initiative in collaboration with Nature Trust Malta, a group who are committed to the conservation of Maltese nature by promoting environmental awareness.

This event is part of McDonald’s corporate responsibility policy and highlights their

pro active commitment to improving the local environment. In recent years McDonald’s has made a number of environmental changes including introducing environmentally friendly packaging, reducing carbon emissions and limiting waste, to name but a few.

As part of their commitment McDonald’s have a number of environmental projects taking place throughout the year including the worldwide Clean up the world day campaign and the local sea clean up initiative.
