Our Goals and Impact


Navigating a Global Pandemic

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, our Starbucks partners, customers and communities have been resilient and inspiring in the face of unprecedented challenges. Our activities in FY20 and FY21 to date have been guided by three principles we established toward the beginning of the pandemic, and we continually provide updates on our pandemic-related efforts here.


Our Guiding Principles

① Prioritizing the health and well-being of our partners (employees) and customers.

② Playing a constructive role in supporting health and government officials as they work to mitigate the spread of the virus. 

③ Showing up in positive and responsible ways to serve
our communities.

Over the past few years we have reimagined the third place. One which remains focused on human connection, evolved to meet our customers where they are, and where we can all find community and acceptance. Acceptance without exception. Inclusion in every way. We are, most certainly, built for this moment.
