Starbucks desire as the leader in the specialty coffee industry is to be acknowledged for its responsibility to coffee farmers and their families to improve their well-being.

Just as the Starbucks Experience continues to fulfill a universal need for personal connection, we have continued to use our scale for good in ways that go beyond our stores. Create Jobs for USA provides an exciting example of how we can positively impact communities through innovative and authentic approaches to pressing problems. In just a matter of weeks, Starbucks turned our own feelings of frustration during a time of unprecedented high national unemployment into a tangible program with the Opportunity Finance Network to help spur job growth, neighborhood by neighborhood. Through more than $7 million in donations and the distribution of more than 430,000 “Indivisible” wristbands in our stores, it is estimated that the program has helped to create and sustain more than 2,300 jobs in the program’s first three months. In Sendai, Japan last October, I met with partners from more than 50 Starbucks stores who were most impacted by the horrific earthquake and tsunami. I was awe struck by their personal stories of strength and courage, as well as grateful for the hundreds of hours that our partners provided to support the recovery efforts for their neighbors and for the financial assistance Starbucks was able to provide through the Red Cross.

It’s likely that the paper that this essay is printed on was produced in the Amazon forest, processed in a South American Factory and shipped on a German made ship to different countries. This is just one aspect of Globalisation. More globally globalisation reflects interconnectivity of markets, people and culture around the word. Today’s world is interconnected like never before, and corporations are trading, expanding, and employing across the continents. Multinational businesses are changing the way that the world works, having new and far-reaching impacts on their customers, business partners, geographical bases, and their suppliers – from established concerns to the independent farmer or craftsperson. The term globalisation is one that is used with ever increasing frequency as if it had a universally accepted meaning and definition. According to Modelski, globalisation is a historical process which is characterised by a growing engagement between peoples on all corners of the globe (Modelski, 2003, pp.55-59) The main aim of this essay is to explain the process of globalisation, and to critically analyse one business in which has been impacted by globalisation, I will be focusing on The Starbucks Company throughout this essay.

Starbucks is a multinational firm that mainly sells roasted specialty coffee in its established retail stores. With headquarters in United States, Starbucks also operates in more than 50 countries across the world. The company was established in 1971 and has expanded its operations within the US borders consistently since then (Seaford & Brooks, 2012). One of the most significant drivers for the good performance of the entity prior to 21st century was good reputation as an organization that was socially responsible and willingness to cater for the interest of its stakeholders. Remarkably, the current status of Starbucks has been attained mainly through the support of its hardworking and committed employees. For the first three decades,

Generally, Starbucks is viewed in an in a positive light, however they have made a few decisions that were unethical behind the eyes of public. One of the faulty decisions that Starbucks made was when they implemented a policy of “keeping a tap running non-stop.” (Balakrishnan) Because of this policy, they wasted over 6 million gallons of water every day. This amount of water could have helped millions of people in third world countries as having access to clean drinking water is a major concern. Additionally, many countries were facing drought, and Starbucks was just wasting the water down the drain. When questioned about this practice, Starbucks response was that they leave the water on for hygienic reason, however this was illogical because the tap water that was left on was primarily used for washing utensils, so they would have to use dish soap anyways. On the other hand, if it was used for only a quick wash of the utensils, they could have implemented a motion sensor tap so it turns on only when the employees needed it. This decision was extremely neglectful, however after public outcry, they implemented steps to decrease water usage. Since this practice was exposed in 2008, they have reduced their consumption by 17.6 percent in 2011. The reduction is due to implementation of “hand-metered water system” and “low-use water faucet[s].” (Starbucks)

Since then, Howard Schultz, chairman and CEO, has embarked on a vision to bring Italian coffeehouse traditions back to the United States. Starbucks mission statement is simple, “to inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup, and one neighborhood at a time” (Starbucks, 2017, para. 7).
