Corporate Social Responsibility

Last November I shared how Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks, was presenting the $5 donation bracelet at the registers of his stores in a goal to create an amount of money to give as grants to new nonprofits and business owners.  This is just one of the many ways the Starbucks is establishing it’s social responsibility.  During the Super Bowl this year, another corporate chain shared a commercial about how it is establishing social responsibility.  This company was Chipotle.

I really enjoyed the commercial and thought it being shared during the Super Bowl was fantastic.  Here it is incase you missed it. 

Here is an article from Planet Forward that shares a little more about how Chipotle is leading the way in Corporate Responsibility.

 

Starbucks Bracelets

Today Howard Schultz, the CEO of Starbucks announced that he would like us not to donate to Washington and to find a different way to donate for the growth of our country.  He has started a drive with bracelets at each Starbucks that 100% of the profit will go to a nonprofit that will provide small business loans.   In another interview this morning with Howard Schultz, I heard him say “the old way of doing business just to make money is selfish and unacceptable today”.  I feel that this is just the beginning of us seeing how some of the wealthy CEOs will be attempting to make our society better with the tools that they have. That really inspires me, and I hope it inspires others to further use the tools that we all have to better our country and our community. 

WE ARE ALL INVOLVED!!!

I acknowledge my love for Starbucks and here are other stories that Project Kinect has done on Starbucks.
