NEW YORK: McDonald’s Corp quietly removed the term environmental, social and governance (ESG) from some parts of its website at a time when ESG initiatives have been attracting criticism from some conservative policymakers in the United States.
The fast-food chain’s “Purpose and Impact” website recently removed several mentions of ESG, according to an analysis by Bloomberg News. One web page that was titled “ESG Approach and Progress” is now labelled “Our Approach and Progress.” Most of the other text remains similar.
