Workforce Diversity at Starbucks
The way we hire, develop and advance our partners (employees) is critical to our journey toward inclusion, diversity and equity at Starbucks.
Updated October, 2024
Starbucks is dedicated to being an inclusive, equitable, accessible and diverse company, with a responsibility to help create opportunity and advance equity in every community we serve. We do this by fostering an inclusive culture that values diverse perspectives and experiences.
The way we hire, develop and advance our partners (employees) is fundamental to our commitment to inclusion, belonging, equity and diversity at Starbucks. Each year, we publish our current workforce diversity data in a comprehensive and detailed manner, including our most recent filings with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. By doing so, we aim to create a culture of accountability, foster meaningful dialogue, and bring about positive change within our organization and beyond. Our commitment to regular progress updates remains steadfast as we continue our work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable Starbucks. We will continue to share our progress regularly.
At the end of 2024, our U.S. partner base is made up 70.9% female and 28.4% male. Additionally, in the U.S. diverse partners represent more than 51.9% of our retail team and more than 37.9% of our corporate roles.
Below you will find the gender, racial and ethnic composition of our Starbucks partners based in the United States. To better represent demographic patterns among Starbucks partners, we are presenting the data for the key functions of our U.S. business: partners who work in company-owned retail stores (Retail); roasting plants/distribution centers (Manufacturing); and support center roles including Marketing, Finance, etc. (Corporate).
To promote transparency and open dialogue, Starbucks disclosed its EEO-1 data for the years 2016 through 2023 , and we plan to disclose our Consolidated EEO-1 Report for 2024 effective upon our next submission to the EEOC in 2025.
