In response to the announcement, the non-profit foundation As You Sow withdrew its shareholder proposal with the company. In a shareholder resolution filed last year, As you Sow says nearly 42% of McDonald’s investors, representing more than 206 million shares and $51 billion in assets, expressed support for action to reduce plastic pollution.
As You Sow says McDonald’s currently complies with a new French law requiring all on-site dining to utilise reusable packaging, yet has no public plans to expand the packaging to the United States.
