STARBUCKS
(SM SAN JOSE DEL MONTE)
Johnson’s letter outlined three preliminary targets: By 2030, Starbucks will aim to
reduce carbon emissions by 50 percent; reduce waste sent to landfills from stores and
manufacturing by 50 percent, driven by a broader shift toward a circular economy; and will also
conserve or replenish 50 percent of the water currently being used for direct operations and
coffee production.
Starbucks has long used science-based research to assess progress. Now, the company
has also released a comprehensive environmental footprint of carbon emissions, water use and
waste in Starbucks global operations and supply chain. Created in partnership from Quantis and
World Wildlife Fund, it will serve as a baseline for measuring future progress. “As we move
forward, we will be transparent in reporting short- and long-term progress against our goals,”
Johnson wrote.
3. From more plant-based food and beverages to reusable, Starbucks is looking far and wide for
opportunities to transform
Starbucks identified key areas in which it can make big impacts by 2030, including
expanding plant-based and environmentally friendly menu options; shifting from single-use to
reusable packaging; investing in innovative agricultural, water conservation and reforestation
practices; looking for ways to better manage waste (including food waste) in stores and in
communities; and developing more eco-friendly operations, from stores to supply chain to
manufacturing.
