Corporate Climate Change Pledges Are Shifting and Evolving
Reporting this week that Starbucks has quietly but aggressively rolled back many of its sustainability targets has turned a spotlight on corporate climate pledges and how they have evolved in recent years.
The Financial Times reported Tuesday that Starbucks has revised or abandoned pledges to cut waste and water use in half, even as it reconsiders a goal to reduce carbon emissions by a similar amount.
The newspaper also reported that Starbucks executives focused on sustainability have been particularly hard hit by job cuts at the company over the last two years.
The news was particularly striking because the Seattle-based coffee giant has cultivated an eco-friendly image for years, making green commitments a central element of its corporate identity.
