Starbucks Case Analysis Starbucks’ mission statement is “To inspire and nurture the human spirit- one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time”. The mission statement emphasizes the standards they want their company to accomplish and to uphold.

Starbucks is concerned with social responsibility in its overall corporate strategy because they want to be devoted to their stakeholders. With the mission statement setting a high standard, Starbucks remains outstanding in social responsibility by meeting objectives formed by the company.

Providing excellent healthcare to workers exceeds other company’s treatment of their employees.

Each franchise follow the same mission statement and makes sure their customers are given a great cup of coffee in a beautiful environment.
