At The Starbucks Coffee Company, performance and purpose go hand in hand.
This commitment isn’t just about doing the right thing; it’s key to long-term success. Our actions drive growth, resilience and efficiency, creating value for partners (employees), customers and shareholders.
At the start of Fiscal Year 2025, we began to put our Back to Starbucks strategy into action — refocusing on coffee, craft and the coffeehouse experience while streamlining everything that supports it.
This has meant refocusing on the fundamentals, using our scale and resources more wisely and having a sharper understanding of the dynamic environments we operate in. This allows us to focus more on delivering a consistently great Starbucks experience.

Coffee
Sourced more than 99% of coffee from farms and supply chains that meet Starbucks C.A.F.E. Practices standards.

Achieved goal to deploy $100 million in financing to smallholder farmers around the world by 2025, through our Global Farmer Fund, building on an initial goal set in 2015, in line with our long-standing ambition to support farmers and address financial challenges.
Opportunity
Expanded U.S. paid parental leave to up to 18 weeks.
Celebrated more than 2,800 partners graduating from the Starbucks College Achievement Plan in FY25, bringing the total to nearly 17,000 since program inception.
