MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT WITH EVERY COFFEE CUP

Our Pillars

We focus on our greatest opportunities for impact in the environment, our supply chain, as well as for health and well-being, people and communities. We are committed to transparency of our corporate responsibility strategies, programs, progress and governance.

Our corporate responsibility strategy focuses our efforts in areas we believe we can have the greatest impact over time and in collaboration with others.

Environment

We are committed to reducing our environmental impacts and restoring resources in support of a regenerative and circular economy. We partner to accelerate and amplify our efforts, supporting climate resilience across our value chain.

Supply Chain

We aim to use our buying power for good through responsible sourcing actions in key supply chains. We focus our work with suppliers and a range of innovative partners around the world with the goal of improving livelihoods and supporting regenerative agriculture and conservation.

Health & Well-being

We aim to understand root causes of health inequities and look for opportunities to address them through our portfolio and partnerships.
