The Senior
Management Team
Starbucks - An ethical company
• Recognised as the world’s Most Ethical Company by the Ethisphere Institute (2017).
• One of the first retailers to offer comprehensive health coverage to part-time employees (and their
families).
• The Starbucks College Achievement Plan provides full tuition reimbursement to eligible employees
who wish to earn a college degree.
• The Starbucks C.A.F.E. practices (Coffee and Farmer Equity) include four key ethical areas:
1. Quality
2. Economic accountability and transparency
3. Social responsibility
4. Environmental leadership
(Boone, Kurtz & Berston, 2019)
(Ethisphere Institute, 2017)
(Starbucks, 2019)
As a global company, Starbucks are
mandated to deliver the ‘highest
standards of ethical conduct and
behaviour’. The Senior Management
Team are directed to maintain these
standards to demonstrate that the
company take their ‘legal and ethical
responsibilities seriously’, (Starbucks,
Standards of Business Conduct, 2017).
(Starbucks, 2017)
‘The Board of Directors of Starbucks Corporation is responsible for overseeing
the exercise of corporate powers and ensuring that the Company’s business
and affairs are managed to meet its stated goals and objectives and that the
long-term interests of the shareholders are served’, (Starbucks Corporate
Governance Principles, 2020).
Elimination of discrimination in leadership is also embraced at the entity.
‘I proactively promote ethical behaviour as a responsible partner’ to ensure that
‘stakeholders’ interests are appropriately balanced, protected and preserved’,
(Code of Ethics for Starbucks CEO, COO, CFO and Financial Leaders, 2017).
Ethics & Compliance
Starbucks holds the belief that carrying out their business in ways that are ethical,
and doing the right thing are vital to their success. They have in place a Business
Ethics and Compliance program that supports and helps with the protection of
their reputation, and culture through the provision of resources that enable
partners make decisions that are ethical at work (Starbucks, 2020). Through this
program, awareness materials are developed, and distributed, and these include,
Standards of Business Conduct; provides partners with additional channels of
voicing their concerns, investigates issues that are sensitive like potential
conflicts of interest; facilitates ethics training and legal compliance.
Within their social responsibility, there are adequate clauses documenting forced
labor, freedom of association, and discrimination.
Starbucks, also, knows too well that
well treated employees, treat customers
well. Starbucks, in an effort to treat their
employees well offers them with
opportunities of receiving various
meaningful benefits including, stock
options, full healthcare benefits, and
discounted tock purchase plans, among
others (ethical consumer, 2021).
Ethical Philosophy
The ethical philosophy at Starbucks is modeled on four
guiding principles:
1. Quality
2. Economic accountability
3. Social responsibility
4. Environmental leadership
Role of employees in maintaining business standards at the company
Customer Service
Motivation of employees
Transparency and career growth opportunities
Starbucks ensures that they constantly and closely engage their employees maintaining a close connection necessary in improving the quality of
service to the customers
 Employee needs are important to the entity a factor that is seen in the hierarchical structure and management board.
The Starbucks employee Code of Conduct bestows responsibility onto its employees to deliver their ‘critical role in ensuring
that Starbucks is a great work environment’ and in protecting the ‘culture, reputation and brand’, (Starbucks, 2017).
(YCHARTS, 2017)
Starbucks view their employees as ‘partners’. Such partnerships are bound up with ‘corporate governance by linking responsible
practices to business success’. Starbucks’ multiple Cross-Sector Social Partnerships (CSSPs) are ‘implemented in part through
employee involvement’. Employees (Baristas) are ‘strongly encouraged to incorporate and follow Starbucks’ mission statements
by participating in brand-sponsored activities’, (Seitanidi & Crane, 2013).

  • 2. BUSINESS ETHICS - ORGB60394 George Scott - S020964J - The Senior Management Team Starbucks - An ethical company • Recognised as the world’s Most Ethical Company by the Ethisphere Institute (2017). • One of the first retailers to offer comprehensive health coverage to part-time employees (and their families). • The Starbucks College Achievement Plan provides full tuition reimbursement to eligible employees who wish to earn a college degree. • The Starbucks C.A.F.E. practices (Coffee and Farmer Equity) include four key ethical areas: 1. Quality 2. Economic accountability and transparency 3. Social responsibility 4. Environmental leadership (Boone, Kurtz & Berston, 2019) (Ethisphere Institute, 2017) (Starbucks, 2019) As a global company, Starbucks are mandated to deliver the ‘highest standards of ethical conduct and behaviour’. The Senior Management Team are directed to maintain these standards to demonstrate that the company take their ‘legal and ethical responsibilities seriously’, (Starbucks, Standards of Business Conduct, 2017). (Starbucks, 2017) ‘The Board of Directors of Starbucks Corporation is responsible for overseeing the exercise of corporate powers and ensuring that the Company’s business and affairs are managed to meet its stated goals and objectives and that the long-term interests of the shareholders are served’, (Starbucks Corporate Governance Principles, 2020). Elimination of discrimination in leadership is also embraced at the entity. ‘I proactively promote ethical behaviour as a responsible partner’ to ensure that ‘stakeholders’ interests are appropriately balanced, protected and preserved’, (Code of Ethics for Starbucks CEO, COO, CFO and Financial Leaders, 2017). Ethics & Compliance Starbucks holds the belief that carrying out their business in ways that are ethical, and doing the right thing are vital to their success. They have in place a Business Ethics and Compliance program that supports and helps with the protection of their reputation, and culture through the provision of resources that enable partners make decisions that are ethical at work (Starbucks, 2020). Through this program, awareness materials are developed, and distributed, and these include, Standards of Business Conduct; provides partners with additional channels of voicing their concerns, investigates issues that are sensitive like potential conflicts of interest; facilitates ethics training and legal compliance. Within their social responsibility, there are adequate clauses documenting forced labor, freedom of association, and discrimination. Starbucks, also, knows too well that well treated employees, treat customers well. Starbucks, in an effort to treat their employees well offers them with opportunities of receiving various meaningful benefits including, stock options, full healthcare benefits, and discounted tock purchase plans, among others (ethical consumer, 2021).

Environmental leadership Role of employees in maintaining business standards at the company Customer Service Motivation of employees Transparency and career growth opportunities Starbucks ensures that they constantly and closely engage their employees maintaining a close connection necessary in improving the quality of service to the customers  Employee needs are important to the entity a factor that is seen in the hierarchical structure and management board. The Starbucks employee Code of Conduct bestows responsibility onto its employees to deliver their ‘critical role in ensuring that Starbucks is a great work environment’ and in protecting the ‘culture, reputation and brand’, (Starbucks, 2017). (YCHARTS, 2017) Starbucks view their employees as ‘partners’. Such partnerships are bound up with ‘corporate governance by linking responsible practices to business success’. Starbucks’ multiple Cross-Sector Social Partnerships (CSSPs) are ‘implemented in part through employee involvement’. Employees (Baristas) are ‘strongly encouraged to incorporate and follow Starbucks’ mission statements by participating in brand-sponsored activities’, (Seitanidi & Crane, 2013).
