People often ask how Starbucks gives back to the local community. From the neighborhoods where our stores are located, to those where our coffee is grown – we believe in being involved in the communities we’re a part of.

This summer, Starbucks food went through a transformation. We've eliminated artificial flavors, artificial trans fats, artificial dyes, and high fructose corn syrup.

The staff evaluates social, environmental and economic aspects of coffee production to help ensure that the coffee Starbucks purchases is grown and processed in a responsible manner while helping to improve the quality of the crops. Our agronomists also help share best practices with farmers to improve growing and conservation techniques. Question: When did Starbucks first open a Farmer Support Center … more »

We heard you. And we listened. Then we made a great coffee … greater. As manager of Starbucks Packaged Coffee business, I try to make sure every one of you, our customers, has a Starbucks® coffee you love to brew at home every day.
