Climate strategy

McDonald's Vorarlberg is pursuing an ambitious climate strategy to reduce CO₂ emissions and implement sustainable measures in its restaurants. A key objective is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2030 and increase the proportion of renewable energy to 35% of total energy consumption.

Sustainable projects and partnerships

As part of its climate strategy, McDonald's Vorarlberg supports regional forest climate protection projects with Tree.ly to promote climate-friendly management of local forests and make a positive contribution to environmental protection in the region.

Successes in the implementation of climate protection measures

The company has already made significant progress, including the introduction of a packaging concept with 93% paper-based materials and the installation of photovoltaic systems on restaurant roofs to utilise renewable energy.

Challenges and solutions

McDonald's Vorarlberg faced challenges when introducing sustainable packaging, particularly in terms of availability and cost. However, through close collaboration with suppliers and feedback from guests, more environmentally friendly alternatives were successfully introduced.

Why Tree.ly

Support for sustainable projects

Versluis Gastronomie GmbH has decided to support a forest carbon offset project by Tree.ly because it is in line with their values and goals. They are convinced that this partnership makes an effective contribution to global climate protection and are delighted to be part of this important initiative.

Regional forest climate protection

As the company is based in Vorarlberg, supporting a forest climate protection project in the region is an ideal opportunity for McDonald's Vorarlberg to make a contribution.

Appropriate use of funds

The funds flow directly to the forest owners, who reinvest them entirely in the preservation and maintenance of the forest.

Regionality

Tree.ly's forest carbon offset projects are local and offer added value for you and your environment.

"As a family business, we bear responsibility - not only for our employees and guests, but also for our environment. Our forests offer recreation, protection and shade and are also an important carbon sink. By cooperating with Tree.ly, we can make an active contribution to climate protection here in Vorarlberg and preserve our forests for future generations."
