Advancing sustainability is a top priority for Starbucks. This is why sustainability is embedded throughout the global organization. We have teams who are supporting sustainable packaging and the shift to reusables, store development teams who are working to make it easier to operate a sustainable store, supply chain teams who are sourcing more sustainable products, communication teams who bring all of the great work happening forward, and store partners around the world who are championing sustainability in their stores every single day. All of our actions matter and it takes all of us working together to accelerate the global movement towards a more sustainable future.

As the world’s leading conservation organization, World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is on a mission to build a future where people and nature thrive. To do this, WWF partners with some of the world’s leading corporations to meet big conservation threats with an equally big response. WWF recognizes the pressure that businesses put on the environment and understands that a healthy business depends on a healthy planet.
WWF works with businesses to transform their vast networks of suppliers, partners, consumers, and employees into a powerful force for good. A force that drives sustainability up and down global supply chains, mobilizes conservation investments in communities, drives consumers towards greener choices, and inspires employees around the globe to champion conservation at work and at home.
