    Just so people are aware, Starbucks was caught buying from farms in Brazil multiple times that used slave labor. In Guatemala, along with Nestle, were caught buying from farm(s?) that used child labor.

    EDIT: On top of this the company partnered with Conservation International to certify the farms met the company’s standards. The incident in Brazil saw CI trying to coverup the certification of that farm. Also CI is involved with arms dealing.

    EDIT 2: Their retail products have the claim “100% Ethically Sourced”. That is a lie.

    EDIT: I got the slogan wrong. It is “Committed to 100% Ethical Coffee Sourcing”.

      That all depends on which ethical code you’re referencing for your statement. I 100% believe that Starbucks sources according to their corporate ethical standards.
