We think it’s important to take a stand on issues to support our business and because it’s who we are and how we operate. That’s why we believe we have a responsibility to advocate both internal and public policies that support the health of our business, our partners (employees) and the communities we serve.
The policies and positions below demonstrate our commitment to being a responsible business. They range from global ethical business standards to our own guidelines for doing business. From how we buy our coffee to how we ensure the best possible workplace for our partners, we believe it is important to operate consistent with our mission: to inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time.
