McDonald's Norway Ad Campaign to Promote a Cleaner Environment
Main Category : Sustainability
Sub Category : Sustainability,Strategy,CSR
Case Description By 2027, the QSR business was expected to be worth USD308 billion with a rapid rise in the world's population, contributing to rising trash volumes and posing a litter problem for communities and marketers. Littering led to a slew of social, economic, and environmental problems. McDonald's, the world's largest fast-food chain, was one of the most visible and large-scale litter generators. According to various studies, single-use bags and food wrappers were harmful to the environment, contributing to half of the world's marine litter. Meanwhile, in March 2022, McDonald's initiated an 'iconic trash' marketing campaign in Norway to address the issue, with the goal of changing consumer behaviour toward littering. However, McDonald's Norway could face repercussions for failing to use reusable packaging, which would have helped it mitigate the environmental concerns associated with its packaging. Would McDonald's marketing campaign be able to motivate its customers to avoid littering and support a more sustainable and cleaner environment?
