McDonald's operations in Italy are undergoing various social and structural developments. In Rome, the “Oltre le Frontiere” (Beyond Borders) project has been launched to assist the professional integration of young refugees. This collaborative initiative provides theoretical and practical vocational training, job placement, and Italian language support to foster autonomy and social inclusion.

Simultaneously, the company is expanding and modernizing its physical footprint. A new restaurant is opening in Noicattaro, which has hired 42 local young people.
