About Starbucks
Our Story
Founded in 1971 in Seattle, Washington, Starbucks has grown from a single store into a global coffeehouse brand that serves millions every day. Our journey began with a simple mission: to inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup, and one neighborhood at a time. Over the years, we’ve stayed true to our values while evolving with our customers’ tastes and preferences.
Our Mission & Values
We are committed to creating a culture of warmth and belonging, where everyone is welcome. Acting with courage, being present, and delivering our very best in all we do is what sets Starbucks apart. Every cup we serve is a testament to our dedication to quality, customer satisfaction, and ethical sourcing.
Sustainability & Responsibility
Starbucks is deeply invested in protecting our planet and uplifting communities. From ethically sourcing our coffee beans to reducing our carbon footprint and supporting farmers through Coffee and Farmer Equity (C.A.F.E.) Practices, our goal is to be a resource-positive company – giving more than we take from the planet.
