Embrace diversity as an<br />
essential component in the way<br />
we do business.<br />
<strong>Starbucks</strong> does business all over the<br />
world. We source coffee from more<br />
than 20 countries, and our stores<br />
are located in 32 countries – places all rich<br />
with their own cultures, languages and<br />
customs. To operate successfully in the<br />
global marketplace, we believe embracing<br />
diversity in every aspect of our business is<br />
absolutely essential.<br />
Our commitment to diversity begins with the inclusive work environment<br />
we’ve created at <strong>Starbucks</strong>, where we strive to make our partners feel valued and<br />
respected. <strong>Starbucks</strong> has launched a number of diversity initiatives that help to<br />
guide our hiring and workplace practices. But more than this, embracing diversity<br />
at <strong>Starbucks</strong> is a deeply held value – a Guiding Principle – that is integral to our<br />
company’s long-term viability and success.<br />
In this section, we explain how <strong>Starbucks</strong> has created an inclusive environment in<br />
our workplace and in our stores. We also share what we are doing to build a more<br />
diverse supplier base and to engage with diverse communities.
