"Starbucks goes to a great effort, and pays twice as much for its coffee as its competitors do, and is very careful to help coffee producers in developing countries grow coffee without pesticides and in ways that preserve forest structure"

This quote by Jared Diamond speaks to the dedication of Starbucks to ethical and sustainable practices. Starbucks goes to excellent lengths to guarantee that the coffee they purchase is of the greatest quality, paying two times as much as their rivals. Furthermore, they are very mindful of the ecological impact of their coffee production, and make every effort to help coffee manufacturers in developing nations grow coffee without using pesticides and in ways that maintain the natural forest structure. This commitment to ethical and sustainable practices is a testament to Starbucks' commitment to their clients and the environment.
