As one of the guiding principles of the corporate mission statement, Starbucks integrates this commitment to the environment in our business decisions. We’re developing innovative and flexible solutions to bring about environmental change. We strive to buy, sell and use earth-friendly products and encourage our employees to share in our mission. We invite you to explore what we’re doing through our business practices and environmental programs, and to discover how you can participate in your community.

Our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility is broad and deep with a dedicated department at Starbucks. Please read the 2003 Corporate Social Responsibility report to find out how we integrate our social responsibility into our business. It’s about living our values.
We provide used coffee grounds to customers and local parks as a soil amendment (at no charge). Since the Grounds for Your Garden program began, we have diverted some of our ground coffee from landfills to flourishing gardens.
Starbucks is pleased to offer four categories of sustainable coffees: Fair Trade, Organic, Farm Direct, and Conservation. Explore how each category plays a specific role in supporting sustainable coffee farming practices around the world. |
