**Additional Information** Beyond the brew**

**Environment**: Starbucks is well on its way towards our multi-decade aspiration of becoming a resource positive company - by storing more carbon than we emit, eliminating waste, and replenishing more freshwater than we use.

**Ethical Sourcing**: Our Long-term success is linked to the success of the thousands of farmers who grow our coffee. So if we can help a farmer grow better beans, we will. Any farmer, anywhere. To that end, we have farmer support centres on four continents where our agronomists test soils, examine samples and provide advice, free, to any coffee farmer who asks. We work to get farmers a fair price and to make sure everyone in the community can benefit from the coffee industry. It leads to better livelihoods for farmers, and a better cup of coffee for all of us
