McDonald’s France has been put “on notice” to comply with duty of care laws by French and Brazilian unions who accuse the fast food giant’s suppliers of poor social and environmental practices.
Unions the CGT, the UGT and CUT on Wednesday gave McDonald’s France three months to publish a vigilance plan as is legally required by large companies operating in France and abroad.
They say the company is guilty of “attacks on human rights, fundamental freedoms, the health and safety of people and the environment”.
This concerns its activities both in France and with regards to certain Brazilian subcontractors supplying coffee, orange juice and soy intended for animal feed.
