When most consumers think of Ronald McDonald – or even a Big Mac – human rights is not the first thing that comes to their minds.
But earlier this year McDonald's Corporation released a “Report of the Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility Committee of the Board of Directors of McDonald's Corporation” on human rights – after a request was made by some shareholders.
Beyond the issue if this was in the best interest of the company's overall shareholders or its bottom line, human rights is an important global topic and McDonald's is a global company. So the concerned shareholders told McDonald's they wanted it to outline how it identifies and analyzes human rights risks in its operations, products and supply chain, according to a recent article by Amol Mehra and Nicole Santiago, appearing on the Huffington Post.
