Welcome to the Starbucks side of things.

These six guiding principles are what Starbucks uses to help guide their decision making:

Provide a great work environment and treat each other with respect and dignity.

Embrace diversity as an essential component in the way we do business.

Apply the highest standards of excellence to the purchasing, roasting and fresh delivery of our coffee.

Develop enthusiastically satisfied customers all of the time.

Contribute positively to our communities and our environment.

Recognize that profitability is essential to our future success.

The Starbucks Coffee Company was founded by Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegel, and Gordon Bowker in 1971. The first Starbucks coffee shop was in Seattle, Washington, and since then, Starbucks has grown to an international coffee empire.

	Fact: There are nearly 3000 Starbucks shops in 37 countries.
