Starbucks Corp.
This commitment is part of the Transform to Net Zero initiative, which aims to accelerate the transition to a net zero global economy. Net Zero Tracker
In addition to this, Starbucks has an interim target to achieve a 50% absolute reduction in scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions, which represent all of Starbucks's direct operations and value chain, by 2030 relative to 2019 emissions. Net Zero Tracker

Sector Benchmark
Note: Latest GHG and revenue data (based on tradingview.com) are used to calculate GHG emissions intensity by sector. The color scale of each bubble depends on the GHG intensity (GHG emissions per 1 million USD revenue). Sectors follow the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) that organize companies based on their primary business activities. The 11 sectors are : Information Technology, Health Care, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate, and Materials.
Starbucks Corp. belongs to the sector Consumer Discretionary.
