McDonald\u2019s Corporation is the latest business to join the Responsible Commodities Facility<\/a> (RCF) providing funding to support the resilient transformation of Brazil\u2019s soy-producing Cerrado region, as related to embedded soy volumes in feed for chicken procured by the company outside of the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n

Soy is considered a priority commodity under McDonald\u2019s Commitment on Forests and Natural Ecosystems<\/a> and the company completed a global mapping project in 2024 with its chicken suppliers to better understand the origins and possible ecosystem risks of soy used in chicken feed. Since 2015, the inception of McDonald\u2019s Commitment, McDonald\u2019s has continued to strengthen its efforts to further ecosystem and business resilience in relevant sourcing sheds, including by investing in landscape-level solutions and initiatives.<\/p>\n

\u201cChicken is one of the most important items across our menu globally, which means we must be vigilant of how we\u2019re sourcing chicken and its embedded soy for feed,\u201d said Beth Hart, Chief Sustainability & Social Impact Officer at McDonald\u2019s. \u201cInvestments in landscape-level solutions and initiatives and cross-sector collaboration are key in unlocking greater landscape resilience and business resilience, helping to ensure we can serve millions of customers around the world the quality menu items they love for years to come. We\u2019re excited to expand our investment in landscape-level solutions and support farmers through RCF.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Responsible Commodities Facility, created by BVRio and run by Sustainable Investment Management (SIM), offers low-interest credit lines for soy farms who contractually commit to deforestation and conversion-free production. This delivers a protection mechanism, financed by public and private sectors, for forests and native vegetation to be maintained on soy farms, contributing positively to climate, water and biodiversity goals.<\/p>\n

In the 2025-2026 crop cycle the RCF programme provided finance to 280 farms, which are expected to produce more than 240,000 tonnes of deforestation and conversion-free soy. This resulted in the conservation of around 90,000 hectares of native vegetation \u2013 around 29,000 hectares more than required by Brazilian law \u2013 while protecting carbon stocks equal to over 22 million metric tons of CO2.<\/p>\n

Investors in the RCF for the 2025-26 soy growing season include UK supermarket chains Tesco, Sainsbury\u2019s and Waitrose, alongside Rabobank, AGRI3 Fund, IDB Invest and the Mobilising Finance for Forests (MFF) program. MFF is managed by FMO, the Dutch development bank, and is funded by the UK Government and the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. New companies will join the RCF from 2026-2027, including MacDonalds, bringing the fund to an estimated U$ 100 million, leading to a significant increase in its environmental impacts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
