[00:06] My name is Sasha.
[00:09] I am sustainability officer at McDonald's and I have
[00:12] been here for just under two years. My role is a really
[00:15] diverse one. My main focus is really about driving
[00:18] sustainability in the restaurants. How can we build
[00:21] our restaurants to a sustainable standard? How can we operate
[00:24] them to a sustainable standard whilst, you know also getting our
[00:27] crew involved. How can we sort of shift their behaviors? What can
[00:30] we do from that perspective? I also work a lot around greenhouse gas
[00:34] emissions and reporting. I think it's incredible that I work
[00:37] in a very small team. But when you
[00:40] think about the actual work that we do and the goals that we're sort of trying
[00:43] to achieve we're impacting around 1400
[00:46] restaurants that serve thousands of
[00:49] people every day. I think there's there's no other ways
[00:52] to describe the impact of my work. My favorite thing about working
[00:55] at McDonald's I'm sure everyone will say this but it's the people.
[00:59] Everybody from the restaurants all the way up to the
[01:02] exec everyone's just
[01:03] brilliant.
[01:04] My best memory would have to be
[01:07] COP 26 and as someone who dedicated
[01:10] my life to sustainability it felt like a
[01:13] once in a lifetime opportunity. It was
[01:17] really exciting just being in a room where I
[01:20] knew governments, leaders of countries, all
[01:23] these sort of officials were in a room deciding on
[01:27] policy around things that would actually dictate my career and
[01:30] the future of my career and I think I would never
[01:33] have had this opportunity if it weren't for actually being at McDonald's.
[00:00] My name
[00:07] is Evan. I'm a construction manager and I've been at McDonald's
[00:10] for four years.
[00:11] My role as a construction manager is to look
[00:14] after my team of project managers working
[00:17] with our franchisees and our own restaurants
[00:20] to make them a better place for our customers. I don't really have
[00:23] a typical day. I split my time between between running my
[00:26] own construction projects, managing my team and engaging with
[00:29] the franchisees and the business on how we're progressing
[00:32] against our program. The size of the organization is
[00:35] just, you just find something
[00:38] new in it every day. It's sounds really cheesy, but it's it's
[00:41] a big family. The people here are one of the reasons that I enjoy my
[00:44] role so much. So the best piece of advice I could give for
[00:47] someone joining McDonald's is be yourself. Bring all the
[00:50] knowledge that you've got and share those experiences amongst the team just
[00:53] because we've been doing something one way doesn't mean that we're doing
[00:56] it the best way. The culture at McDonald's is really inclusive.
[00:59] You always learning stuff off different people
[01:02] be it brand new starters or people that have been here 30 years.
[01:05] We're, we really keen to develop people to
[01:08] be the best that they can be. So as long as you as an
[01:11] individual,
[01:12] want progression and training there's there's plenty of
[01:15] opportunities to develop yourself professionally and
[01:18] there's loads of opportunities which can provide
[01:21] accredited qualifications, you know apprenticeships as
[01:24] well as externally if you want to pursue something like
[01:27] a chartership like I did last year to be a chartered construction
[01:30] manager. Being part of McDonald's team is really great,
[01:33] it's rewarding and the people just make every day
[01:36] really fun to be at work.
