WHAT IS McDONALD'S SAYING ABOUT THE SUPPLIER NETWORK?

"The Supplier Network brings McDonald’s suppliers together to elevate supplier acumen on the McDonald’s business, share best practices, and solve valuable problems in a way that continues to sharpen our three-legged stool competitive advantage. They consistently enforce our McDonald’s values and cultural norms and organically connect the three legs of the stool through their engagements. Supplier Network events are designed to educate and engage suppliers to support McDonald’s business effectively and consistently, but I have to say that I frequently recommend that my McDonald’s team members join the sessions to learn more too! Their approach always has the franchisee and customer at the forefront."

– Darcy Gilbert, Corporate Vice President Global Strategic Sourcing Food McDonald’s Corporation
