When inaccurate information about our company is circulating online, we believe it’s important to respond with facts and clarify our position on key issues.
Unfortunately, false statements about who we are and what we stand for have spread on social media. As a giving company, we stand for humanity. We stand for human connection. We strongly abhor hate, violence and attacks on the innocent – and we are committed to providing accurate information about our brand.
For example, despite false statements spread through social media, Starbucks has never contributed to any government or military operation in any way.
What we do fund is food aid for communities in need. The Starbucks Foundation, along with global licensee partners, including Alshaya Starbucks, have provided over $3 million to World Central Kitchen to provide more than 1 million meals to families in Gaza.
