Starbucks & Ethical Coffee – Emily Hall
College campuses run on coffee. Starbucks is currently the company that dominates the caffeine market. Starbucks can be found on most college campuses, including the University of Richmond at 815 Cafe. However, the coffee bean travels a long way before it arrives on campus for consumption.
Starbucks is committed to ethical and environmentally-friendly practices in growing their beans. They focus their attention on continually improving their policies and creating practices focused on long-term effects and goals. They want to positively impact their farmer’s lives as well as minimize the harm growing does to the environment. Once in the United States Starbucks focuses their production on creating an effective and efficient supply-chain.
Starbucks is a global company that realizes its global impact.
