Since opening our first store in Seattle’s Pike Place Market in 1971, we’ve remained committed to sourcing and roasting the world’s finest coffee. As we have grown and evolved, our commitment to promoting socially and environmentally responsible growing practices has delivered industry-leading results.
Environmental Stewardship
As a company with a deep heritage and a passion for coffee, Starbucks has been focused on the long-term sustainability of coffee-growing communities. Through innovative programs with an emphasis on continuous improvement, we are taking action to address our concern about climate change and the impact it will have on the long-term supply of our coffee.
Community Involvement
Starbucks is committed to helping support thriving neighborhoods wherever we do business. Being an integral part of neighborhoods is not just the right thing to do for the community, it’s also good for our business.
