Community & Environment

Starbucks works with communities around the world and across our value chain to help our neighbors thrive and to protect the planet.

Led by our partners, we believe it is our responsibility to contribute positively to the communities we serve. Through investments in The Starbucks Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we’re driving impact in the U.S., Canada and global communities from the first ten feet to the last ten feet of the coffee journey.

Scaling a range of innovative solutions, we aim to make Starbucks a more sustainable choice for our customers.

We also continue to partner with industry experts, governments and other global businesses to accelerate our impact. Whether through our partnership with Transform to Net Zero or with the U.S. Food Waste Pact, we know we cannot do this work alone.

“Through the FoodShare program and capacity-building grants, Starbucks helps empower partner food banks to recover and redistribute more nutritious food, helping to ensure neighbors facing hunger have access to the resources they need to thrive. This partnership exemplifies how businesses can drive meaningful and sustainable impact in communities nationwide,” said Erika Thiem, Feeding America’s Chief Supply Chain Officer.
