STARBUCKS STORIES & NEWS
Company Profile Our story began in 1971. Back then we were a roaster and retailer of whole bean and ground coffee, tea and spices with a single store in Seattle’s Pike Place Market. Today, we are privileged to connect with millions of customers every day in more than 80 markets. FOLKLORE Starbucks is named after the first mate in Herman Melville’s “Moby-Dick.” Our logo is also inspired by the sea – featuring a twin-tailed siren from Greek mythology. STARBUCKS MISSION Our mission: to inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time. OUR COFFEE We’ve always believed in serving the finest coffee possible. It's our goal for all our coffee to be grown under the highest standards of quality, using ethical sourcing practices. Our coffee buyers personally travel to coffee farms in Latin America, Africa and Asia to select high-quality Arabica beans. And our master roasters bring out the balance and rich flavor of the beans through the signature Starbucks® Roast. OUR STORES Our stores are a neighborhood gathering place for meeting friends and family. Our customers enjoy quality service, an inviting atmosphere and an exceptional beverage in our stores and immersive Starbucks Reserve® Roastery locations in Chicago, Milan, New York, Seattle, Shanghai and Tokyo. 32,000+ S T O R E S I N 8 3 M A R K E T S Andorra, Argentina, Aruba, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bahrain, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Canada, Cayman Islands, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Curacao, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Hong Kong/Macau, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Jamaica, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Monaco, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, Panama, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay and Vietnam.

WE BELIEVE IN THE PURSUIT OF DOING GOOD We have always believed Starbucks can – and should – have a positive impact on the communities we serve. One person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time. It is our vision that together we will elevate our partners, customers, suppliers and neighbors to create positive change in the areas where we can make the biggest impact: •
Leading in sustainability: Our aspiration is to become resource positive, giving more than we take from the planet by storing more carbon than we emit, eliminating waste, and providing more clean freshwater than we use.
•
Strengthening communities: We seek to be a welcoming Third Place for everyone while supporting the communities we touch – from volunteering in our local neighborhoods to helping families in coffee- and tea-origin communities.
•
Creating opportunities: We invest in pathways to opportunity through education, training and employment; hiring veterans and military spouses, refugees, Opportunity Youth and those formerly incarcerated, and helping them build their futures once they are with us.
