It is our company’s policy not to consider unsolicited ideas from outside the McDonald’s system. Because we are always working on new ideas and strategies within the company, we do not review ideas from outside McDonald’s to avoid confusion over the origin of an idea. We realize that we may be missing out on a few good ideas, but we had to adopt this policy for legal and business reasons.
While McDonald's Corporation appreciates companies and suppliers who take their time to send us corporate information and propositions for business alliances, the large volume of unsolicited business proposals received by McDonald's precludes acknowledgement of this information. It is our policy to initiate contact with outside suppliers on as needed basis.
