“World Wildlife Fund is a key partner for Starbucks in our efforts to continue minimizing our environmental footprint,” said John Kelly, Senior Vice President of Global Public Affairs and Social Impact, Starbucks. “We look forward to being a part of ReSource: Plastic as we know it takes collaboration to find scalable, truly impactful solutions. We’re committed to learning and leading alongside other brands as we work toward our aspiration of sustainable coffee, served sustainably.”

Starbucks participation in ReSource: Plastic builds on an existing partnership with WWF to co-develop Starbucks Greener Storesframework as part of a commitment to design, build and operate 10,000 Greener Stores globally by 2025.
