As a company that relies on agricultural products, they have long been aware that the planet is their most important business partner.
Climate Change The potential impact of climate change on farming communities is the main reason why Starbucks started their environmental acts . They believe now is the time to increase their investments in solutions and strategies – both in their stores and at the farm level – that help to reduce this crisis. Starbucks has been implementing a climate change strategy since 2004, focusing on renewable energy, energy conservation .
Water and Energy Conservation Water Conservation In 2008 they set a goal to reduce water consumption by 25% in company-operated stores by 2015. Since then they’ve identified a number of opportunities to use this precious resource more wisely and have spent the last few years testing, validating and implementing these solutions. They are proud to have exceeded their goal and reduced water use by 26.5% through retrofits to plumbing, water systems and enhancements to new store design. And they will continue to focus on strategies that can further reduce use of this precious resource. Their work on water also extends into water consumption, protection and access to clean drinking water in coffee-growing communities e. Through C.A.F.E. Practices and the resources their agronomists provide coffee farmers at their seven farmer support centers around the world, they can help increase their profits and quality while still reducing water used for coffee processing, protecting rivers and streams and ensuring workers have access to clean drinking water. They are also working with non-profit organizations to help improve livelihoods and quality of life in many

coffee growing regions by investing in programs addressing critical community needs such as water access, sanitation and hygiene.
Energy Conservation Their goals for energy conservation are similarly ambitious. In the past year they completed the installation of Energy Management Systems in in approximately 4,000 stores. Energy Management Systems optimize heating and cooling and will enable them to identify additional opportunities for savings going forward. They are also continuing to focthem on driving energy savings in their stores through optimization of equipment and lighting specifications.
Recycling and Reducing Waste They are working to shrink their environmental footprint and meet the expectations of their customers by reducing the waste associated with their business, increasing recycling and promoting reusable cups.
Recycling Recycling seems like a simple, straightforward initiative but it’s actually quite challenging. Their customers’ ability to recycle their cups, whether at home, at work, in public spaces or in their stores, is dependent upon multiple factors, including local government policies and access to recycling markets such as paper mills and plastic processors. and are working with non-governmental organizations, policy makers, competitors, industry associations and others to bring solutions to scale and tackle common challenges. For example, they are working with companies and organizations along the value chain as a member of the Food Packaging Institute’s Paper Recovery Alliance and Plastics Recovery Group. Ultimately they want their packaging to be recyclable in both material and

practice, so that their customers have access to recycling services wherever they choose to dispose of their waste. They have proven that their used cups can be accepted as a valuable raw material in a variety of recycling systems
Community Stores:
Starbucks Community Stores represent their ongoing global commitment to supporting opportunites for young people in the community. One of the most important contributions they can make is to provide meaningful skills, education and employment opportunities in the communities their stores serve. Each Community Store works directly with a nonprofit that offers services aimed to meet the needs of that individual community. Starbucks donates $0.05 to $0.15 per transaction from the Community Stores to the local partnering nonprofit. This unique funding model creates a continuous resourcing for the nonprofit organization. They opened their first Community Stores in 2011 and now have eight stores worldwide.
Their Current Community Stores: Houston, Texas The Association for the Advancement of Mexican Americans (AAMA) inspires and empowers Latinos to pursue and achieve their dreams through innovative education, health and social services programs.

Starbucks Foundation
The Starbucks Foundation was created as part of our commitment to strengthen communities. We started in 1997 by funding literacy programs in the United States and Canada. Today we’re supporting communities around the globe. The Starbucks Foundation gave $6.9 million in 2015, making 128 grants to nonprofit organizations. Grants included $3 million for Starbucks Opportunity for Youth Grants and $1.5 million in social development grants. In 2015 Starbucks Corporation gave $29 million in cash, including $14 million to the Starbucks Foundation. Corporate giving included funding for community-building programs – including the Global Fund through our partnership with (RED)™ and other efforts – and $29.3 million in inkind contributions.
Opportunity for Youth The Starbucks Foundation believes in providing young people, ages 16 to 24 years old, with pathways to opportunity by investing in programs that equip young people with the skills required for the changing global economy.
Starbucks is committed to creating pathways to opportunities and employment in communities around the world. More than 290 million young people around the world are neither in school nor employed – one of the fastest growing populations. These young men and women represent a huge, untapped opportunity for an infusion of productivity and creativity in the workforce. At the same time there are also challenges for employers to find qualified candidates. The problem is not unique to Starbucks, nor can it be solved by them alone. That is why they are focusing on a comprehensive approach and collaborating with organizations on proven, as well as innovative, solutions to help young people get the skills and training they need to succeed in a rapidly changing global economy.
Community Service The Starbucks Foundation also supports our partners' (employees) engagement in their local community through Partner Match and Community Service Grants. These programs provide matching grants to nonprofits where our partners’ made personal monetary and time contributions. Coming together in service represents a fundamental act
5
of citizenship for individuals, businesses and community members to create a stronger, more cohesive society.
Every Starbucks store is a part of a community, and they’re committed to strengthening neighborhoods wherever they do business. They believe in the power of the coffeehouse to bring people together. Their stores allow Starbucks partners (employees) and customers to connect and tap into shared passions to provide a helping hand and create meaningful opportunities that can strengthen individuals and communities. Throughout the year, employees and customers dedicate their time and energy to create positive change in their local neighborhoods. Service projects vary in size and focus. They encourage partners to lead and participate in projects that align to their commitment to disconnected young people. They believe the impact of service is on both the community and those volunteering. For the volunteer, service fosters increased empathy and connection. Customers, community members and employees are invited to join in service throughout the year. In the U.S. and Canada, you can find nearby projects to join or lead on the Starbucks Community Service website or connect with a barista at your local Starbucks. With your support, they can keep making a positive impact—one person, one neighborhood at a time.
Supporting Coffee, Tea and Cocoa Communities Their commitment to communities extends beyond their stores to include the regions that supply their coffee, tea and cocoa, and other agricultural products. Starbucks invests in programs designed to strengthen economic and social development in local communities, while also caring for the environment. To extend the reach and impact of their programs, they collaborate with nongovernmental organizations that have experience and expertise in working with farming communities. In total, Starbucks has invested more than $70 million in:

Farmer Support Centers Starbucks has established Farmer Support Centers in key coffee-growing regions to provide local farmers with resources and expertise that can help lower their cost of production, reduce pest and disease, improve coffee quality and increase the yield of premium coffees.
