As part of our strategy, Plan Four Zero, we have a streamlined site waste reporting system, KPI's are agreed and progress shared in reports and meetings.

Recently we announced the launch of ACTIVATE, a new incentivised sustainability programme for Irish beef farmers, which is being supported and co-funded by McDonald’s UK & Ireland. The ACTIVATE initiative involves a total investment of €4.4 million over three years and will provide payments to participating farmers for successfully implementing agreed sustainability plans and reducing emissions. The programme, which is the first of its kind in Ireland, has been created to accelerate the adoption of cost effective on-farm sustainability practices and will involve both online and practical training for famers to support them in achieving their emissions reduction targets.
