As Starbucks celebrates its 50th Anniversary, the company is expanding its open-source Greener Store Framework to help reduce its environmental impact and leverage its scale for good to accelerate the global movement towards a more sustainable future.
With performance-based standards that incorporate design and extend throughout the life of a store, Starbucks Greener Stores in North America have reduced energy consumption by 30% compared with the company’s prior store designs.
“We’ve proven designing and building greener stores is not only responsible, but also good for business,” said Andy Adams, Starbucks senior vice president, Store Development.
Starbucks will open two additional experiential Greener Stores. The next is planned for Southern California and Starbucks hometown in Seattle, WA. Looking to the future, Starbucks will extend its commitment beyond company operated stores to licensees, joint venture partners and licensees to deliver more robust energy, carbon, water, and waste reductions.
