Located on Cañas Gordas Avenue in southern Cali, the new drive-thru underscores Starbucks Colombia’s commitment to growth in the market and meeting customers’ needs for added convenience.

Colombia - Today, as part of its regional expansion plan, Alsea, the licensed retail operator of Starbucks in Colombia, is celebrating the opening of more than 50 Starbucks stores in Colombia and its first drive-thru store in the market, which is located in the city of Cali.

With the introduction of this new store format, Starbucks is evolving the customer experience to meet Colombian customers’ needs of convenience, connection and personalization while creating new and meaningful customer experiences. The world's largest coffee chain has become one of Colombians’ favorite brands and a place for local customers to enjoy high-quality, 100% Colombian coffee, as well as a variety of beverages and food.

"This drive-thru opening in Cali – our first in the market – fills us with pride,” stated Juan Pablo Castaño, managing director of Alsea Colombia. “We began our operation in Colombia eight years ago. Now with over 50 stores, accompanied by significant investments in technology and infrastructure, we continue to maintain a business focused on service and exceeding the expectations and experiences of our millions of customers.”

Castaño also expressed that in favor of Starbucks commitment to the economic and sustainable development of Colombia, it is of the utmost importance for the company to continue serving 100% Colombian coffee in all handcrafted, espresso-based beverages.

With this new store built in Cali, a vibrant city in western Colombia and the world capital of salsa, Starbucks aims to balance speed and quality while differentiating the customer experience. Located at Cañas Gordas Avenue 18 #118-150 in Barrio Pance, which is near a university and just off a major road that connects to Cali’s southern neighborhoods, the drive-thru store is specially designed to provide a unique on-the-go experience in a safe and familiar way, while continuing to elevate the Starbucks Experience in relevant ways to local customers.

"This new space not only confirms our commitment to the Colombian market, but also our dedication to generate more jobs here in the capital of the Valley, with 18 new Starbucks Colombia partners (employees) joining our team," Castaño pointed out.

Since the brand arrived in Colombia in 2014, it has reinforced its commitment to the market and job creation. Starbucks Colombia now has more than 600 partners proudly wearing the green apron, of which 84 are based in Cali. Starbucks currently has a presence in Cali, Bogotá,&nbsp;Medellín,&nbsp; Barranquilla, and Cartagena.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The design of the store includes a mural by Colombian artist Alejandro Paucar in his unique style. The artwork is inspired by Cali and its people, by the local music and dance traditions. The painting aims to capture the joy and energy of the “carnival” as a celebration of life; the goal of the piece is to help uplift the everyday of Starbucks customers and partners in this new location.

Starbucks has always stood out for delivering innovative, unique and extraordinary experiences through coffee. The brand pays special attention to the customization of its products and has one of the largest portfolios within its category.

Starbucks Colombia remains committed to continue adapting its customer experience for on-the-go occasions through formats such as drive-thru in the market and across the region. Starbucks welcomes its customers at the new location Sunday to Thursday from 7am to 11pm; Friday and Saturday from 7am to 12pm.

• To wrap up a significant year of giving back to the community and in celebration of International Volunteer Day, Starbucks Mexico, in partnership with P.O.L.A. Foundation, hosted an event to bring happiness to 200 children suffering from complex diseases such as kidney failure, cancer, diabetes, and cystic fibrosis.

• This year, over 740 Starbucks Mexico stores participated in volunteering actions throughout the market, supporting 165 environmental projects with the help and enthusiasm of more than 1,430 green apron partners (employees).

Mexico City – Starbucks Mexico today announced its last larger-scale volunteering action of the year in collaboration with P.O.L.A. Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports children suffering from complex diseases by providing them with basic necessities and moments of joy. The event took place in Hacienda San Andrés, Naucalpan, located near Mexico City, and also marked the celebration of International Volunteer Day.

This activity is part of the Starbucks Mexico Volunteering program, an initiative born in 2011 to invite partners (employees) and customers to volunteer their time to support local communities in which the company has a presence. Over the years, the program has supported more than 3,000 volunteer projects that have had an impact on vulnerable communities and supported other organizations that seek to have a positive impact on the environment and the community.

Since the beginning, Starbucks has set out to be a different kind of company, deeply rooted in its mission to inspire and nature the human spirit – one person, one cup, one neighborhood at a time. While joining forces for those who need it most, Starbucks Mexico has implemented local actions that have a positive impact on sustainability and wellbeing in the community.

“At Starbucks, we believe in the power of volunteer efforts to improve and add value to our neighborhoods. We dedicate our time to support vulnerable communities, including helping in shelters for senior citizens, as well as supporting other organizations that seek to have a positive impact on the environment and our society at large,” said Francisco Tosso, CEO of Starbucks Mexico.

Starbucks Mexico recently celebrated its 20th anniversary, an opportunity to celebrate and be grateful to our partners, customers, and communities – who have all been part of Starbucks journey in the market – and look to the future, to the path we want to build and to our future commitments. Throughout the year, Starbucks&nbsp;&nbsp; Mexico has made an impact on local communities in the following ways:

core/list

“In 2022 we received more than 40 volunteering Starbucks Mexico partners at the John Langdon Down Foundation, where they were able to learn about the work we have been doing for 50 years,” said Gabriela Saucedo, coordinator of the donations and outreach area of ​​the John Langdon Down Foundation, an institution that provides educational, medical and psychological care to people with Down syndrome and their families and which received a Global Community Impact Grant from The Starbucks Foundation to support job training programs. “Partners participated in an art activity with the artists of the Down Mexican School of Art, and we are grateful to them for sharing their time and making our artists smile!”

The participation of over 740 Starbucks Mexico stores throughout the market was essential and ensured that 100% of the districts remained active with different initiatives.

“We appreciate Starbucks collaboration as volunteers in community work in the chinampera area of ​​Xochimilco,” said Gabriela Alcantar López, Biologist at Umbral Axochiatl, organization dedicated to the conservation, restoration, and rescue of the lake area. “Starbucks volunteers supported a chinampero corn producer in transplanting corn, which is important to continue with the work of rescuing local seeds, increasing the cultivation of chinampero corn, and promoting crops that allow a respectful and agroecological management of the natural area resources (soil, water, biodiversity).”

As part of the volunteer actions, since 2019, Starbucks presented their Community Champion Award to those partners who have gone above and beyond by embracing their communities, leading volunteer efforts, and inspiring others to strengthen their neighborhoods through positive impact actions. Mildred Nuñez, Cancun District Manager, was the 2022 award winner, highlighting the actions she took in the face of natural disasters, beach cleanups, and engaging her partners in community service activities.

Taking care of the wellbeing of people – our partners (employees), our coffee growers, our customers, and our communities – and giving more that we take from the planet is of the utmost importance to Starbucks Mexico.

New location at One East Shopping Plaza is the 14th&nbsp;Starbucks store in the market; underscores Starbucks Bahamas commitment to job creation and growth.

Nassau, Bahamas – Today, Coffee Cay Ltd., the operating licensee of Starbucks in The Bahamas, announced the opening of its first drive-thru Starbucks store in the market, which will be located in the One East Shopping Plaza on Prince Charles Drive. With the introduction of this new store format, Starbucks strives to meet customers’ needs of convenience, connection and personalization&nbsp;while creating new and meaningful experiences for them.

“The opening of our first drive-thru store showcases our continued commitment to evolving the Starbucks brand in the Bahamas while supporting our communities,” said Dino Matsas, Food &amp; Beverage General Manager, Coffee Cay Ltd. “This new format will enable us to create new connections that meet our customers’ needs and satisfy their growing demand for premium coffee on-the-go.”

With this new store, Starbucks Bahamas aims to balance speed and quality while differentiating the customer experience.

The new location will create 18 new jobs and marks Starbucks 14th store since arriving in the market in 2005, with over 150 partners (employees) proudly wearing the green apron nationwide.

The Starbucks drive-thru, as its name implies, has been designed to serve our customers through the drive thru window, with a majority of sales running through that channel. Additional sales channels are also available for customers and include both our traditional interior café and for those that choose to park, walk-up and order to go, our mobile order and pay pick up window conveniently accessible from the sidewalk. The new drive-thru store features a unique design, with finishes inside that create a warm, serene, and inviting atmosphere, including walnut wood, pale greens, and a textured wallcovering. The wall artwork features tropical birds and plants among coffee plants, giving the space an uplifting, colorful layer.

After a two-year hiatus for live events due to COVID-19, this in-person competition returned to the region to recognize leading barista talent, testing <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/en-es/stories/2022/starbucks-lac-barista-championship/">top baristas</a> from every Starbucks store across LAC markets and recognizing the best-in-the class of Starbucks coffee craft expertise.

“It is an honor for me to congratulate Camila as Starbucks LAC Barista Champion this year,” said Tom Ferguson, president, Starbucks Latin America and Caribbean. “As we celebrate two decades of retail presence in this dynamic region, we are so proud to see our green apron partners gathered together at Hacienda Alsacia to showcase their coffee craft, knowledge and expertise.”

This year’s Starbucks LAC Barista Championship was hosted live from Costa Rica and Starbucks coffee farm and global agronomy headquarters, Hacienda Alsacia, located on the slopes of Poás Volcano, an hour from the capital city of San Jose. As a natural location for this event, Hacienda Alsacia’s mission is to ensure the future of coffee for all by supporting coffee farmers and promoting sustainable farming, including sharing a variety of best practices freely with farmers around the world.

“Our partners’ passion for coffee helps build meaningful connections with our customers, our planet and our communities,” said Michelle Burns, executive vice president, Global Coffee, Social Impact &amp; Sustainability, Starbucks. “We are thrilled to have our Barista Championship program back in LAC and welcome our green apron partners to Hacienda Alsacia, which is such a special place for Starbucks. Here, our partners can experience first-hand the deep care that goes into the first 10 feet of a cup of coffee, so they can share that connection with customers at the last 10 feet.”

Following three days of competition in which partners showcased their craft and artistry through multiple rounds of complex coffee challenges, including espresso shot pulling, milk steaming, latte art and beverage innovation, regional champion Camila from Argentina took the prestigious crown of Starbucks LAC Barista Champion. Following the competition, a celebration took place at the beautiful landscape of Hacienda Alsacia, recognizing all Starbucks national barista champions and their achievements.

“I am very grateful for all my green apron partners. Not only for today but for these past days spent together. For making them beautiful, full of love, affection, and hugs – it was incredible!” said LAC Barista Champion Camila during the awards ceremony at Hacienda Alsacia. “Today, I not only walk away with coffee knowledge, but also, I take back an entire Starbucks family. I know that each one of us will return home, but we will stay connected through video calls and creating coffee action plans. I’m grateful and my cup is full.”

LAC is equally important to Starbucks future as it is to its coffee legacy. The company is reinforcing its commitment to the region by investing in training for, and celebrating, its green apron partners. Over the last 51 years, Starbucks goal to source only the best available coffee has allowed the company to discover unique Latin American beans from more coffee-growing markets such as Colombia, Guatemala, Peru, Costa Rica, Brazil, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and Mexico, among many others. Starbucks provides employment opportunities to over 20,000 partners in more than 1,550 stores. For 20 years, the company has worked to innovate, expand, and elevate the coffee industry in Latin America and the Caribbean – a fascinating and dynamic region that continues to offer incredible growth opportunities for Starbucks.

First-of-its-kind operation in the global financial market structured by the Greentech Brasil Mata Viva (BMV) will direct resources towards sustainable actions across Brazil.

São Paulo – Starbucks Brazil, locally operated by SouthRock, today announced a collaboration with BV, to issue a Green Private Commercial Note worth 20 million BRL. The operation, structured by BMV, a green tech company, is the first of its kind to be carried out in the Global financial market to use Sustainability Credit Units (Unidade de Crédito de Sustentabilidade - UCS), an ESG environmental commodity that finances the conservation of forests to enable the transaction. In line with Starbucks global planet commitments and the values practiced by SouthRock, resources will be directed towards sustainable actions in Brazil, such as carbon footprint offset.

“In 2020, Starbucks made a commitment to become a resource positive company, formalizing environmental goals to reduce carbon emissions, water use and waste by 2030. It is with great pride that we announce this partnership with BV, as a way of continuing to honor our commitment to protecting the planet we share,” said Claudia Malaguerra, Managing Director for Starbucks Brazil.

Responsible for financing the solution, BV becomes the first bank to carry out this type of operation in the Brazilian market. "The Green Private Commercial Note is a way to engage our clients in identifying and reducing their environmental impact. We are proud to have structured this unprecedented operation," said Rogerio Monori, Executive Director of Corporate &amp; Investment Banking and Treasury at Banco BV.

Under the structuring of BMV Group, the partnership gains scale, and the necessary know-how to expand its impact locally. “Bringing BV and Starbucks Brazil together in an unprecedented operation in the financial market is a milestone for BMV Group, as it shows that investing in the environment is good business, both reputational and financial. Operations like these reinforce our leading role in the green finance market, where we were the first institution to issue the Green CPR with registration at B3,” said Maria Tereza Umbelino, CEO of BMV.

All the Sustainability Credit Units transactioned by BMV are from areas of native forests preserved by over 200 rural producers of different sizes and regions in Brazil, providing a way to obtain environmental rentability. In this way, proceeds from the sale of UCS to Starbucks Brazil will be allocated to biodiversity conservation and best practices for land use with sustainable development.

UCS is the environmental commodity that goes beyond carbon, covering a total of 27 ecosystem services provided by the standing forest, such as climate regulation, hydrological flow, and fauna preservation. The methodology developed by BMV has the scientific support of the Universidade Estadual Paulista - Unesp and the entire protocol is approved by the world's leading certifier, the Swiss SGS, in addition to using technologies such as blockchain, which allow the traceability of issued financial securities. Additionally, all the forests that integrate the projects rely on satellite monitoring and periodic field inspections.

Currently, over a million hectares of native forest are preserved in seven groups from BMV: Xingu, Teles Pires, Madeira, Arinos, Amapá, Roosevelt and Guariba, in states of the North and Center-West regions of Brazil.

The commercial notes are a new product in the Brazilian financial market, ruled by the Law nº 14.195, enacted on August 26, 2021, and they have more flexible rules than other financial instruments. The Green BV Note is the first of its kind in the private market due to the commitment signed between BV and Starbucks Brazil to produce sustainable impact reports.
