People & Impact
During her nearly 20 years on the board of Starbucks, Mellody Hobson has been a respected leader, mentor and passionate advocate.
Our mission affirms our heritage and what has always set us apart – our commitment to source, roast and serve the highest-quality coffee and our role in bringing people together to inspire and nurture the human spirit.
From big moments such as the first ever North American Barista Championship and a new chief executive officer, to quieter ones such as a connection between a customer and barista, Starbucks photographers were there to capture them.
The way we hire, develop and advance our partners (employees) is critical to our journey toward inclusion, diversity and equity at Starbucks.
Starbucks has always been about great coffee. But we are much more than that.
Rex Sterling Hamilton’s colorful drinkware collection, the latest in Starbucks Artist Collaboration Series, arrives in Starbucks stores in August.
Rebecca Hart, a Starbucks partner (employee) since 2008, will compete in Equestrian Dressage, in her fifth Paralympic Games.
As part of Starbucks environmental promise to give more than we take, high-power electric vehicle chargers will be installed at locations on a 1,400-mile route.
Starting in August, in Petaluma, California, Starbucks is leading a city-wide collaborative reuse project to make reusable cups the default option for to-go drinks.
