Starbucks has certified 3508 of its eco-friendly Greener Stores worldwide, expanding the program to 20 regions as part of its “resource-positive target” strategy.
The coffee giant is expanding the program from across Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Africa into Latin America and the Caribbean by building all-new stores in the region under the Greener Stores framework.
The coffee giant plans to reach its target of 10,000 Greener Stores globally by 2025.
Starbucks Greener Stores Framework consists of a collection of 25 performance-based standards spanning environmental impact areas such as energy efficiency, water stewardship, and waste diversion.
Each Greener Store offers a set of sustainable elements that contribute to its third-party verification.
The stores feature solar panels, water recycling tanks, high-efficiency appliances, low-emitting paint and sealants, recycling tampers, and energy-efficient HVAC temperature systems.
