The 2010 Global Best of Sustainable Supply highlighting the "best of the best" across the McDonald’s System was launched at the World Wide Convention in Orlando, Florida on April 19, 2010. Out of the wide variety of initiatives mounted by HAVI Logistics to protect the environment, the company submitted a total of five proposals to the Best of Sustainable supply Committee. With the solar energy project "Freeze with the Sun" finally, HAVI Logistics catapulted itselves to the head of the pack and is now the spearhead of the environmental campaign for the entire McDonald’s community
“Congratulations! Your best practice was chosen from hundreds of submissions from around the world across our entire Supply Chain,” Douglas M. Goare, McDonald’s Senior Vice President for the Worldwide Supply Chain, wrote in his congratulatory letter to HAVI Logistics. “Your story will serve as an example to other suppliers. It is a source of pride for the entire McDonald’s System and public evidence of our progress on the long road to sustainability,” he added.
McDonald’s’ approach to environmental responsibility is a multi-faceted effort that stretches through its Supply Chain to its restaurants. A few years ago McDonald’s continued to evaluate and measure emerging environmental best practices within the McDonald’s System. For this reason the restaurant chain created the initiative “Best of Green/Best of Sustainable Supply”. Information on this McDonald’s campaign is available on the web at: www.crmcdonalds.com. Furthermore, a brochure with the best of the best - HAVI Logistics on the Front Line - has been published by McDonald’s.
