Truly Great Coffee
"Our Mission and Values align each of us to a consistent purpose: inspiring and nurturing the human spirit. It is through ownership of our individual actions that we are able to be performance-driven, through the lens of humanity."
​
We reinforce these values by:
-
Creating a culture of warmth and belonging, where everyone is welcome.
-
Acting with courage, challenging the status quo and finding new ways to grow our company and each other.
-
Being present, connecting with transparency, dignity, and respect.
-
Delivering our very best in all we do, holding ourselves accountable for results.

​
At Starbucks, performance is a balance of three essential elements - Living Our Mission and Values, Achieving Results and Helping Others Succeed. As partners, we engage each other in a way that unlocks potential, enables personal growth and the growth of our company.
​
Our Mission and Values connect each of us as we strive to inspire and nurture the human spirit - one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time."

"What is the role and responsibility of a for-profit, public company? The answer for Starbucks is simple: opportunity.
​
Our social impact agenda is a natural extension of Our Starbucks Mission to inspire and nurture the human spirit - one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time. We have the opportunity to be globally responsible - to people and the planet - to create opportunities for our partners and their families and to strengthen the communities that we serve.
​
Our aspirations are higher than ever. It is up to each of us to take what we do personally and, through our actions, to truly be performance-driven, through the lens of humanity. The work you do every day creates the opportunity for Starbucks to share our success...in your neighborhood, city and across the world!"
