The CEO Water Mandate Secretariat welcomes Starbucks as its latest endorsing company. Via its endorsement of the Mandate in April 2021, Starbucks joins a diverse, global community of over 190 companies that have made a commitment to advancing water stewardship.

In addition to committing to the CEO Water Mandate, Starbucks is the latest company to join the Leadership Committee of the Water Resilience Coalition. The Water Resilience Coalition is an industry-driven, CEO-led coalition of the CEO Water Mandate that aims to elevate global water stress to the top of the corporate agenda and preserve the world’s freshwater resources through collective action in water-stressed basins and ambitious, quantifiable commitments.

Founded in 1971, Starbucks is a roaster, marketer, and retailer of specialty coffee. Based out of the United States of America, the company has more than 30,000 retail stores in 78 markets and employs approximately 349,000 people worldwide.
