Martin Brower was recently named McDonald’s 2025 Canadian Supplier of the Year. This award is one of McDonald’s highest honours, recognizing partners who demonstrate sustained excellence across multiple areas critical to its success.  The McDonald’s Canadian Supplier of the Year award is presented every two years at its North America Supplier Summit to a partner who consistently delivers outstanding results, elevates the McDonald’s brand, and continuously raises the bar for excellence.

It also launched a new national distribution program for McDonald’s apparel and is now partnering with McDonald’s on a waste-management and circularity framework that lays the foundation for a smarter, more sustainable supply chain.

Our annual Global Food Safety &amp; Quality Week (FSQ) is a celebration of our shared commitment to protecting the brands we serve and the communities we nourish.Over the past year, our global Quality Teams have worked to assess and enhance our FSQ culture using the Culture Excellence framework. With over 5,000 team members participating, we’ve gained powerful insights across four key areas:<ul><li>People: Empowerment, training, communication, and recognition</li><li>Process: Systems, documentation, consistency</li><li>Purpose: Values, mission, alignment</li><li>Proactivity: Innovation, responsiveness, continuous improvement</li></ul>While we’re exceeding industry norms in all areas, the assessment revealed opportunities to continue to strengthen our People First culture. We asked the team why FSQ is so important to them, see what they had to say.Voices from the Team
