Topic > Starbucks Social Responsibility Case Study - 735

Every customer who is served is treated with the utmost respect, while the same care is given to coffee and other products: providing the recipient with superior quality the first time or they will gladly do it again. When customers enter the establishment they are greeted with comfortable chairs and a welcoming atmosphere, "snuggled at home", keeping the walls bare and the atmosphere cold for other activities. This environment wants to be a place of unity, a place for people to meet, a study room for exhausted college students, or even a place to read the newspaper before work. Whatever the need, Starbucks provides the answer. For example, for every bottle of Ethos Water sold, five cents are donated to the Ethos Water Fund to provide clean water to children who cannot access it themselves. This fund has helped more than 500,000 people around the world obtain clean water, hygiene and sanitation (Ethos Water Fund). Clearly, Starbucks believes in the necessity of humanity. In conclusion, Starbucks has identified many aspects of social responsibility and has demonstrated that it can meet the environmental, health and well-being needs of those responsible for every aspect of the business and of the communities affected by the Starbucks brand..
