Starbucks is not just a coffee company. There are over 35,000 Starbucks stores worldwide offering over 20 beverages with chocolate. That’s a lot of cocoa beans. Starbucks claims to source its cocoa responsibly. But when it comes to paying cocoa farmers a living income, addressing child labor, or protecting forests, Starbucks is evading accountability and hiding behind grand claims it cannot substantiate. With profits of over $21 billion USD in 2022, Starbucks needs to do better than give us lip service. Tell Starbucks to clean up its chocolate. |
