Starbucks first entered the Philippines market in 1997, opening its first store in Makati City. The global coffee chain was founded in 1971 in Seattle by three entrepreneurs - Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl and Gordon Bowker - with the goal of selling high-quality coffee beans and roasting equipment. As part of its corporate social responsibility efforts, Starbucks Philippines supports disaster relief, provides opportunities for youth, participates in community service projects, and assists farming communities. The company has also set ambitious sustainability targets for 2030 focused on reducing carbon emissions, conserving water use, and shifting to a more circular economy model.
