The business I chose was Starbucks. Starbucks is 99% ethically sourced. Their coffee is soon to be the world’s first sustainably sourced agricultural product. Starbucks has also made great strides in pursuing other sustainable business practices. One of the practices the company has implemented was the removal of plastic straws. Starbucks has changed its cold drink cups, to a sippy cup format. The usage of non-biodegradable straws isn’t good for the environment, and the company has ceased to include this with cold beverage purchases. Starbucks also does a wonderful job giving company stock incentives back to employees on an annual basis. This leads to improved employee morale, and retention. I was a store manager at a Starbucks location on the upper west side of Manhattan. Every night we would put aside the food and drinks that were soon to expire and donate them to a nonprofit organization. This is done to ensure someone eats the product, rather than assume it would be purchased by a customer, while waiting for the expiration date.
