Starbucks Corp

Starbucks articulates a clear public stance on climate and policy engagement: its Government Affairs team "has increasingly emphasized the development, analysis, and management of climate-related public policy initiatives and activities," it has "adopted a policy to provide more transparency about our corporate political contributions and expenditures," and it reaffirms its commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement through a "1.5 °C company-wide GHG emission reduction target," answering "Yes" when asked if it has a public commitment to align engagement with the goals of the Paris Agreement. However, the company does not disclose any formal governance process for its lobbying activities: we found no evidence of how lobby positions are monitored or reviewed to ensure they align with the company's climate strategy, nor is there a named individual or committee charged with overseeing lobbying alignment.
