<strong>Starbucks</strong> is wholeheartedly committed to making a positive difference in the lives of<br />

farmers and their communities by promoting the sustainability of coffee production.<br />

In pursuing this goal, our focus in 2004 will be on the following:<br />

• Increase the amount of independently verified sustainable coffee we purchase from<br />

suppliers who successfully adopt <strong>Starbucks</strong> Coffee Sourcing Guidelines by 100% over<br />

fiscal year 2003 (see chart below) including a 15% increase in conservation (shadegrown)<br />

and certified organic coffees that meet the guidelines.<br />

• Open a field office in Costa Rica that enables us to reach out and work directly with<br />

farmers, helping them improve their production of high-quality, sustainable coffee.<br />

• Invest in more social development projects that benefit coffee-growing communities<br />

around the world, including projects in Latin America, Africa and Indonesia.<br />

• Provide $1.5 million over three years, including $300,000 in fiscal 2004, to support the<br />

expansion of the Conservation International coffee program in Central America, Peru<br />

and Colombia. Demonstrate leadership of the Conservation Coffee Alliance by signing<br />

a three-way memorandum of understanding between <strong>Starbucks</strong>, CI and USAID <strong>for</strong> a<br />

$1.2 million project to expand the Conservation Coffee program in Mexico, Costa Rica<br />

and Panama.<br />

• Maintain our commitment to purchasing Fair Trade Certified coffee, and increase the<br />

number of places where Fair Trade Certified coffee is available and the countries where<br />

we have licensing agreements in order to meet consumer demand.<br />
