Starbucks Social Impact

What is the role and responsibility of a for-profit, public company? We have always believed Starbucks can – and should – have a positive social impact on the communities we serve. One person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time.

As we have grown to more than 28,000 stores in more than 75 countries, so too has our commitment to creating a positive global social impact.

It is our vision that we will help inspire our partners, customers, suppliers and neighbors to create positive change. To be innovators, leaders and contributors to an inclusive society and a healthy environment so that Starbucks and everyone we touch can endure and thrive.
