Community Service
Partners and customers around the world came together to help out.
60,000 volunteers in 30 countries joined together to transform their local communities and what a difference it made!
We believe that being involved in our communities is not only the right thing to do, it’s also good business.
Year after year, our partners (employees) and customers inspire and amaze us with how they come together to make the world a better place.
Our Goal
We’d like Starbucks partners (employees) and customers to contribute more than one million hours of community service each year by 2015.
We Believe in Community Involvement
From the neighbourhoods where our stores are located, to the ones where our coffee is grown – we believe in being involved in the communities we’re a part of. Bringing people together, inspiring change and making a difference in people’s lives – it’s all part of being a good neighbour. And it’s a commitment rooted in the belief that we can use our scale to be a catalyst for change.
Action Inspires Action
Our company mission to inspire and nurture the human spirit goes far outside the walls of our Starbucks stores. It means encouraging and supporting partners’ (employees) and customers’ involvement in their communities. To this end, Starbucks will unveil a global community service program by the end of fiscal 2010.
