Why do you want to achieve long-term relationships with suppliers?

We treat our suppliers, very intentionally, as partners. This allows us to understand, over time, how each other's businesses work, the challenges that we face and how we can work together to drive efficient and effective supply chains. Long-term partnership also gives our suppliers the security and confidence to invest in their businesses and it gives us the long-term guarantee of an ongoing supply of all our menu ingredients. Ultimately this helps us to drive quality and value for our customers. So whenever you step into a McDonald's restaurant, you're never out of luck.
