Starbucks mission statement
•   To inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup and one
    neighbourhood at a time.
•   Starbucks principles
     – Our Coffee: We’re passionate about ethically sourcing the finest coffee beans, roasting
       them with great care, and improving the lives of people who grow them.
     – Our Partners: We’re called partners, because it’s not just a job, it’s our passion.
       Together, we embrace diversity to create a place where each of us can be ourselves. We
       always treat each other with respect and dignity.
     – Our Customers: When we are fully engaged, we connect with, laugh with, and uplift the
       lives of our customers – even if just for a few moments.
     – Our Stores: When our customers feel this sense of belonging, our stores become a
       haven, a break from the worries outside, a place where you can meet with friends.
Starbucks value proposition
•   It’s all about experience.
•   Three components of branding strategy:
     – First component: Coffee itself. Coffees were of high quality and were sourced from
       Africa, Central and South America and Asia – pacific regions. It worked directly with
       growers in various countries of origin to purchase green coffee beans, supervised
       roasting process and distribution to retail stores around the world.
     –    Second component: Service. Goal is to create an uplifting experience every time
         customer walks through the door.
     – Third component: Ambience. People come for coffee but it is the ambience that makes
       them want to stay. It has generated the need to come together.
•   Customers second, Employees first. Employees were given training on how to
    prepare and serve coffee. They were also empowered by offering them ESOP,
    comprehensive health care. Respect employees and employees will respect
    customers which in turn leads to customer satisfaction.
•   Corporate Social Responsibility: opening up of hospitals, AIDS foundations, food
    banks.
