As the sun broke through the clouds, she trekked into a rugged mountain region in Caldas, one of the country\u2019s main coffee-producing regions \u2013 a two-and-a-half-hour ascent up through steep terrain, then down into a valley. There, she and her group were greeted by about 15 local farmers, mostly young people who\u2019d returned home and recently started coffee farming after decades of armed conflicts in the area had subsided.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n<body><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey shared their stories with us,\u201d recalls Burns, now Starbucks <a href=\"https:\/\/stories.starbucks.com\/leadership\/michelle-burns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"is-external-link\" aria-describedby=\"external-link-description\">executive vice president of Global Coffee, Tea and Cocoa<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"13\" viewBox=\"0 0 13 13\" width=\"13\">\n\t<path d=\"M13 .43v3.9a.43.43 0 1 1-.87 0V1.48l-6.19 6.2a.43.43 0 0 1-.61 0 .43.43 0 0 1 0-.62l6.2-6.2H8.66a.43.43 0 1 1 0-.86h3.9c.24 0 .43.2.43.43ZM11.27 11.7V6.5a.43.43 0 1 0-.87 0v5.2c0 .24-.2.43-.43.43H1.3a.43.43 0 0 1-.43-.43V3.03c0-.24.2-.43.43-.43h5.2a.43.43 0 1 0 0-.87H1.3c-.72 0-1.3.59-1.3 1.3v8.67c0 .72.58 1.3 1.3 1.3h8.67c.71 0 1.3-.58 1.3-1.3Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><\/a>, \u201cstories about conflict and all the challenges that happened in Colombia, stories of moving away after losing family members who were in coffee farming.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n<body><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey\u2019d come back to reclaim that land.

When it\u2019s cradled in her hands, she feels familiarity and friendship, comfort and warmth. Like so many others who have a coffee ritual, this mug is part of hers.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n<body><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These days, when she drinks coffee out of this mug, she\u2019s reminded of the need to slow down and savor the moment.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n<body><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For 50 years, coffee has been the core of Starbucks, and Burns always comes back to that, especially as a highly visible leader during intensely complex times \u2013 a climate crisis, crop diseases like coffee rust, a highly charged political landscape, an aging farmer population, supply chain disruptions due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, labor and staffing shortages.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n<body><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is important to stay true to the heart and the mission of our company, and the love for coffee, and your experience with it.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n<body><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI believe that by honoring our heritage, staying true to where and why we started as a company \u2013 strongly rooted in our mission and values, with an aspiration to make sure that in the end, we&#8217;re giving more than we&#8217;re taking \u2013 then we can really go after the biggest, boldest aspirations.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n<body><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That thinking led Starbucks to develop one of the coffee industry\u2019s first ethical sourcing standards, <a href=\"https:\/\/stories.starbucks.com\/press\/2020\/cafe-practices-starbucks-approach-to-ethically-sourcing-coffee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"is-external-link\" aria-describedby=\"external-link-description\">Coffee and Farmer Equity (C.A.F.E.)

Practices measures more than 200 criteria \u2013 as scored by an independent third-party auditor \u2013 in the categories of economic transparency, environmental leadership, social responsibility and quality. Starbucks pays premiums above commercial market price to help ensure coffee farmer profitability, and also financially rewards supply chains that reach the highest performance levels.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n<body><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That commitment to stay rooted in Starbucks mission and values continues to drive Burns in her work \u2013 especially as a woman leading in the coffee industry \u2013 whether it\u2019s planet-first initiatives, farmer support or increasing awareness among customers of the entire coffee-making process.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n<body><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou just think about the magnitude,\u201d Burns says. \u201cHow many hands actually touch the coffee along the way, how many miles are there from a field to one of our stores? It\u2019s incredible\u2026 That has to be integrated into all the ways we work, think and act. We work in support of 400,000 farmers, just like we work in support of 400,000 partners.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n<body><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given that Starbucks buys about 800 million pounds of coffee every year, or about 5 percent of the world\u2019s coffee, Burns says, \u201cthe potential to positively impact the lives and livelihoods of farmers and their communities is tremendous.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n<body><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPeople have watched us working hard to do the right things, find solutions and take great care of farmers and their communities, for decades. They grant us an amount of trust and opportunity to help lead the discussion around ensuring a sustainable future of coffee for all. That is a privilege as well as a responsibility, but it&#8217;s so important that we follow through. \u201cWhen I think about that challenge, and I look at what is required, and the journey ahead, my sense is, we must. We must be brave, and we must lead, and set out aspirations that are bold to take the path that can create a better future for those that grow coffee and their families, and to ensure that the beauty and art and ritual that&#8217;s coffee remains in all of our cultures, for decades and decades to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter
