Listening and responding to customers has always been part of who we are as a company. In Summer 2011, McDonald’s leadership and key decision-makers embarked on a nationwide Listening Tour, seeking input from key audiences on how McDonald’s can best serve communities in the areas of food, people and the environment. We’re having meaningful conversations directly with our customers on topics that are important to them and us, working together to bring continued improvements to our shared communities. We created these webpages to bring these insights and learnings from each of our Listening Tour sessions and share them with our greater audience. Follow us along on our journey: |
