Community & Environment
The power of positive contribution
We believe stronger, more resilient communities can lead to shared success, from the farms where coffee begins to the neighborhoods where we operate.
Our aim is to help enable positive impact:
- Locally, by helping to strengthen our communities and fostering connection
- Globally, by supporting the building of a more resilient value chain
- For customers, by working to offer options and experiences that help reduce environmental impact
Strengthening Local Communities
With more than 20,000 company-operated coffeehouses globally as of FY25, our coffeehouses are more than places to grab a cup of coffee — they’re part of the neighborhoods we serve. We work to create spaces that are warm, inclusive and connected to local communities. And as we sharpen our focus on the Starbucks experience, we’re also investing in the communities that make that experience possible, so they thrive alongside us.
Building a More Resilient Value Chain, Globally
Beyond our coffeehouses, we strive to strengthen the long‑term resilience of the value chains that help sustain our business. From coffee farms to manufacturing and retail operations, our success depends on healthy ecosystems, thriving farming communities and respect for the rights and well‑being of the people who make our products possible. Supporting these systems helps us to deliver high‑quality products today while safeguarding supply for the future.
Reducing Our Environmental Impact
We’re committed to reducing our environmental impact in our coffeehouse operations, including the choices we offer our customers — whether you’re visiting a coffeehouse, ordering ahead, going through the drive thru or getting your order to-go.
