"McDonald’s Linked to Amazon Deforestation in New Report", 30 March 2022

The letter focuses on labor violations mentioned in the Reporter Brasil report, including at orange and soybean producers in Brazil that allegedly feed the McDonald’s supply chain, while also mentioning environmental concerns...
