McDonald's Corporation
Description
McDonald's is the world's leading global foodservice retailer with over 36,000 locations serving approximately 69 million customers in over 100 countries each day. More than 80% of McDonald's restaurants worldwide, and over 90% of McDonald's restaurants in the U.S., are owned and operated by independent local business men and women.

At McDonald's, we believe our business and our responsibility to the communities we serve are inextricably linked. As a global company, we collaborate with our independent franchisees, suppliers and charitable organizations to create and support programs that help address the local needs in the communities where we operate.

Our independent franchisees are actively involved in the communities they serve, providing scholarships and supporting sports teams, teachers' nights, and our charity of choice, Ronald McDonald House Charities, founded in 1974 to provide support for families whose children are receiving medical care.
