Updated October, 2024

Starbucks is dedicated to being an inclusive, equitable, accessible  and diverse company, with a responsibility to help create opportunity. We do this by fostering an inclusive culture that values diverse perspectives and experiences, where every partner feels like they belong and has the support and career opportunities they deserve. 

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. Our commitment to regular progress updates remains steadfast. 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.
