Starbucks hosted an investor forum in New York City today to update our shareholders on the status of the company’s Reinvention and to share our long-term ambition and strategies as we move toward a limitless future.

Through the lens of two long-time retail partners who are also part of the LGBTQIA2+ community, we reflect on how Starbucks has learned and grown over the years to become an inclusive safe haven – with our partners consistently driving the company’s efforts.

It's been a year of reinvention where we listened, learned, dreamed of what's possible and took action, both inside our stores and out.
