As part of the commemoration of World Energy Saving Day, McDonald’s reaffirms its firm commitment to the conservation of natural resources and the promotion of energy efficiency. The global restaurant chain has implemented a series of initiatives throughout the Central American region, reducing its carbon footprint and promoting responsible energy use.

Perspective Writing

One of the main milestones of this initiative is found in restaurants in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, where McDonald’s has adopted the use of renewable energy. This transition has allowed a significant decrease in the company’s ecological footprint and a significant step towards sustainability.

In addition to renewable energy, restaurants have carried out other measures to improve energy efficiency, such as installing LED lighting and implementing systems that recycle the energy generated by cold rooms to heat water. These innovative practices not only contribute to energy savings, but also strengthen McDonald’s commitment to the environment.

Two of the most notable restaurants in this effort are McDonald’s located in Palín, Escuintla, and restaurant No. 100 in Guatemala. Both locations have installed 4,000-watt wind turbines, as well as cutting-edge technologies such as solar panels, allowing them to generate clean energy and further reduce their environmental impact.

McDonald’s also works closely with ENEL, a 100% renewable energy provider, to raise awareness about climate change and the benefits of electrical energy from renewable sources. As a result of this collaboration, McDonald’s uses 26,280 megawatt-hours (MWh) of clean energy annually, which is equivalent to avoiding the emission of 2,480 tons of CO2 and planting 9,308 trees. These efforts reflect the company’s commitment to sustainability and its contribution to the well-being of the planet.

Commitment to the environment is a fundamental pillar of McDonald’s brand platform “Small Actions Big Changes.” The company stands out for its leadership in the implementation of sustainable practices and its constant promotion of energy savings, which contributes significantly to the well-being of the planet and the increase in environmental awareness.
