Singapore: McDonald’s is to face a vote by shareholders about its use of plastic straws at its annual meeting on Thursday.
A small shareholder is pressing the fast food giant to demonstrate “leadership in the elimination of plastic straws”.
Keith Schnip wants the company to report on the risks to the business of continuing to use the straws.
But McDonald’s says the move is “unnecessary” and “redundant”.
Mr Schnip’s proposal was published in an SEC filing in April. He argues that McDonald’s could face a consumer backlash on environmental grounds.
