Resolved clause
Shareholders request McDonald’s confirm that the confinement of gestating pigs in individual stalls will be ended in its U.S. pork supply chain by 2022. If McDonald’s cannot so confirm, shareholders request disclosure of: 1) the percentage of pork in its U.S. supply produced without locking gestating pigs in solitary confinement stalls, and 2) the risks McDonald’s may face over the disparity between its gestation stall pledges/reporting and the reality within its supply chain. This should occur within three months of the 2022 annual meeting, at reasonable cost, and omit proprietary information.
