Social Impact
The Starbucks Foundation drives locally relevant impact in communities where Starbucks operates around the world.
Starbucks and The Starbucks Foundation work alongside local teams and nonprofit partners to provide relief and build resilience.
In response to Typhoon Yagi, a devastating storm that struck southern China and Southeast Asia, and its aftermath, The Starbucks Foundation has partnered with Planet Water Foundation, a non-profit organization, to provide clean water access to impacted communities.
Starbucks Thailand announced opening its third Community Store at The Kad Farang Village amidst the mountains of Mae Rim district, Chiang Mai province, supporting local coffee farmers and communities. The store's design is inspired by the local coffee growing traditions and cultural heritage of Northern Thailand farmers, who have long collaborated with Starbucks and played a crucial role in creating the Starbucks® Muan Jai™ Blend, a special coffee blend available exclusively in Thailand.
