Gender Equality Certification

"The main asset we have at McDonald's is our people. For this reason, obtaining the AENOR Gender Equality Certification Model certificate represents recognition of the work carried out by Human Resources, which indicates that we are working on the right path, creating a good, inclusive and respectful work environment. For McDonald's, the full achievement of the Principle of Equality and non-discrimination between women and men is a fundamental commitment on which we have been working for several years. Within our corporate culture, it has always been of vital importance to work for the integration and equal treatment and opportunities between women and men (in selection and hiring processes, training or promotion, work-life balance plans, non-sexist and inclusive language, etc.). McDonald's Equality Plan is cross-cutting and dynamic, evolving with reality, preventing discrimination and reaffirming McDonald's commitment to ensuring equal rights, without distinction based on race, sex, language, origin, religion or other factors. In turn, it prevents the wage gap, through periodic monitoring of remuneration with a gender perspective. As next steps, we will continue to work to further expand our Equality Plan and extend it to the entire McDonald's system. An objective for which we have the support of our franchisees."
