Starbucks promotes equal opportunity in its hiring practices, makes recruiting decisions based solely on job-related criteria, and does not use forced labor.  When employing partners under the age of 18, managers must comply with all Starbucks-established or legally required limitations on minimum hiring age, and on hours and tasks performed by these partners to ensure any work performed does not hamper the partner's education, health, safety, and mental or physical development. "At Starbucks we treat each other with respect and dignity. This means that all partners are entitled to work in an environment that is free of harassment,  bullying and discrimination"

Starbucks is working to shrink the environmental footprint and meet the expectations of their customers by reducing the waste associated with their business, increasing recycling and promoting reusable cups. "When we are fully engaged, we connect with, laugh with,  and uplift the lives of our customers—even if just for a few moments. Sure, it starts with the promise of a perfectly made beverage, but our work goes far beyond that. It’s really about human connection"
