McDonald’s claims to have purchase certified (and verified) coffee.
‘Globally in 2012, about 25% of our total coffee bean purchases were from Rainforest Alliance Certified™, Fair Trade USA or UTZ Certified farms. The majority of our certified coffee purchases are from Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms, including 100% of our espresso in the US and Canada, and all of our coffee in Australia and New Zealand. McDonald's markets in Europe source 100% of their coffee - with the exception of decaf - from farms.
