McDonald's New Zealand

We were excited to be at Fieldays® again this year, showcasing how around 90% of our ingredients come from local communities throughout New Zealand. We treated attendees to free soft serve, served up 14,000 apple pies, and distributed 2,000 customised tote bags. We also hosted a panel discussion with New Zealand Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (NZRSB) on beef sustainability. Check out the highlights below.  #Fieldays #Fieldays2024
