Starbucks' corporate social responsibility strategy focuses on three pillars: commitment to communities through the Starbucks Foundation, commitment to ethical sourcing of coffee and other materials, and commitment to the environment through reducing waste and building greener stores. Starbucks works with farmers to ensure coffee is sourced responsibly and pays above market price for fair-trade coffee. It also partners with local non-profits through community stores and invests in employee and community welfare.

14. • Starbucks has partnered with Conservation International
• It ensure that coffee it purchases is not only of the highest quality but also “responsibly grown and ethically traded.”

15. In my opinion organizations like Starbucks should not fix any annual budget towards the CSR initiative but should fund the project
as per the need , like Starbucks funding the Katharina relief project etc. Its primary focus is supporting literacy programs for
children and families in the United States and Canada expanded, it has now donated millions of dollars to charities and communities
worldwide. Starbucks’s goal lead to successful completion of 100 percent of its cups recycled or reused by 2015. Being the leading
coffee chain outlet they generate huge amount of profit so employing a part of profit towards employee welfare, customer and
society upliftment, providing support to suppliers/farmers.

16. • Starbucks’ social responsibility strategy is based on three pillars: Community, Ethical Sourcing, and the Environment.
• To have a positive impact on the communities it works with and in, Starbucks develops community stores that partner with
local non-profits. Starbucks decided to invest in its people and the communities they work with. When a company puts
people first, and focuses on making positive changes for the communities they work with and serve, consumers notice.
• Starbucks is the world’s biggest buyer of fair-trade coffee and pays an average of 23 percent above market price for 40
million pounds a year. Starbucks has over 16,700 stores worldwide, approximately 142,000 employees, $9.8 billion in
