(NYSE: SBUX) Its offices in the American city of Seattle, its employees were surprised to find that a large number of disposable objects have now been converted to their multiple counterparts, such as the coffee cups used by the company.
Following the report, as well as the update that the company’s CEO Kevin Johnson will retire, the company’s share price rose 7% in Wall Street trading.
This is a change that Starbucks is trying to instill in all its branches around the world, with the company getting rid of close to 7 billion disposable cups every year.
Before the investor meeting that Starbucks will hold tomorrow, the company revealed several additional steps in its plan to reduce the use of disposable cups. This program includes, among other things, conducting many experiments in about 8 different markets in an attempt to find the best way with the help of which the company can abandon the use of such glasses.
According to this plan, Starbucks expects that as early as next year, the company’s customers will be able to use their reusable glasses while coming to spend time in its branches throughout the United States and Canada.
Starbucks has a large number of branches in the United States that also include Drive Thor services, ie those in which you can order takeaway services without having to get out of the vehicle.
“We are conducting a large number of tests to understand how our program can be implemented in a way that will not slow down queues at Drive Thor branches and at the same time be user-friendly,” said Emilia Landers, vice president of the company’s innovation division.
The company’s vision is to reduce the company’s harm to the environment by 50% by 2030, while working to become a “more user-friendly” company in the near future. To this end, the company expects that by 2025 it will be able to serve all its customers using reusable cups, whether those customers purchase the cups directly from Starbucks or bring them from home.
The company notes that close to 40% of the waste from which it disposes consists of disposable covers and lids.
Michael Cobory, CEO of Starbucks Sustainability explains how “disposable cups make up about 20% of our global waste, no doubt a serious figure, but it gets worse when we realize it’s a Cain letter. The company logo is now being dumped all over the world, and as much as we can “This symbol is a symbol of sustainability over waste, so we can change the way people look at society.”
On the other hand, it is important to note that the company has been toiling for more than a decade in an attempt to persuade its customers to stop using disposable cups, an experience that has not yet worked for them. The last time the company tried to make the move, it was in 2008 when the company set itself a goal to reduce the use of disposable cups by 2015, a goal in which the company failed.
Starbucks notes that following these attempts, the company began investigating consumer behavior. In doing so, the coffee shop chain realized that, at least at the time, even the most determined sustainability representatives did not walk around with a reusable glass by them.
In fact, since 1980 the company has started offering a 10 cent discount for every customer who orders coffee in a reusable cup, although few customers have taken advantage of this benefit. The company is now running several different trials within the United States in an attempt to understand how customers currently react in similar situations, such as taking an additional 10 cents each time the customer orders a disposable cup of coffee, compared to a 50 cents discount for each time the customer orders the cup in a large cup. Twice.
The company will also begin a pilot in which it will set up stations designed for washing glasses in several centers in the United States, where factory workers will wash customers’ glasses before the next time the customer orders his coffee.
In other centers around the world, the company is testing a model according to which customers will be able to borrow glasses before use. This model, currently being tested in Japan, Singapore and London, allows customers to borrow the cups before returning them to the store, where the cup will be cleaned before being served to another customer. This model has been tried before in Seattle, where customers paid a dollar deposit for borrowing the cups and got it back when they returned them.
In South Korea, where it will adopt a more aggressive model, Starbucks said it will stop using all of its disposable cups by 2025. Nearly 200,000 disposable cups so far.
Meanwhile and as mentioned, CEO Kevin Johnson has announced that he will resign, and he will be replaced by former CEO Howard Schultz who will now serve in the position temporarily. Johnson has been with the company for nearly 13 years, during which time he has served as CEO since April 2014. Now the latter will continue to serve as a consultant for the company.
While the company is looking for a suitable replacement, the board has already announced that it will temporarily appoint the company’s former CEO, Howard Schultz, as a temporary replacement. In the past, Schultz served from 1986 to 2000 and then returned to managing the company again from 2008-2017.
The CEO’s resignation comes amid the fact that the company’s employees are currently aiming to set up a workers ‘committee that will protect their rights. According to reports from the company’s workers’ union, SBWorkers United, there are now more than 120 stores across 26 countries. Across the United States who have already applied to the National Board of Labor Relations (NLRB) to unite.
As of early March, 6 of the company’s stores had already set up a workers ‘committee, and it was reported that the NLRB had already filed a lawsuit against the company after it allegedly prevented two of its Phoenix State employees from setting up a workers’ committee to protect their rights.
“The company’s success is not self-evident,” said outgoing CEO Schultz. “The company must continue to work to win the trust of customers and investors,” he added. Russia and Ukraine oblige the company to make sure that its executives will allow its continued growth in this environment as well.
The price of Starbucks has fallen over the past 12 months by about 25% from a price of $ 111.34 in mid-March to a base price of about $ 83.12 per share this morning, after trading at a high of $ 126.3 per share during the previous month.
In this regard, in a report released by the French-based World Energy Agency, the agency said that in 2021, and especially following the companies’ attempt to recover quickly from the effects of the corona crisis in the past two years, greenhouse gas emissions last year broke records. The coal.
The findings of the World Energy Agency suggest that in the coming years companies may have to make unprecedented efforts to implement the conclusions of the global conference last time the countries convened in Paris earlier in the previous year, as well as at a conference held earlier in 2015.
