Thanks peeps. What’s weird is that Starbucks does seem to hire some socio-environmentally aware people for its CSR departments. I get the sense that these people either really start believing the spin in the PR departments, or that their idealism slowly ebbs, or that, within the Starbucks structure, their opinions and inputs have v. little discernable effect on the corporation as a whole…

Huge thanks Siel to clarify this…it seems like Sbx wants their own way…and us to just accept it, doesn’t it. Confusing at times for me…but then again we’re talking about one of those multi-national companies here. Sad…sad…sad for another potential REAL leader and solution of the world.

Hey Siel, Six here (again). These are great and provide a useful summary for newcomers on what the issues are and–sadly–how Starbucks has responded. Your responses and recommendations are realistic, perceptive, and incisive–as usual. Thanks for your work.

Whats with the shrouded answers from Starbucks. I felt they were very simple questions that deserved straightforward answers. C’mon guys! Like Jack Johnson says: “Where’d all the good people go?”
