		Take a look at our latest Global Responsibility Report

Starbucks™ Shared Planet™

We've always believed in a better cup of coffee and creating a better future for coffee farmers. We also believe in improving communities and protecting the environment. That's why we have set up Starbucks™ Shared Planet™. You and Starbucks, it's bigger than coffee.

Our global goals define where we'll focus our efforts and commitments, and set our vision for working with our partners (that's what we call employees), customers and leading non-governmental organisations to find new solutions in meeting our goals.

Visit Starbucks™ Shared Planet™ to find out more about our global responsibility goals and to read our latest global responsibility report.
