In the United States, the popular network of coffee shops Starbucks decided to improve the environment and reduce harmful emissions with coffee, Bloomberg writes.
The company announced that it seeks to reduce carbon emissions to the environment, as well as to reduce the amount of water used in the production of coffee. It is impossible to do it yourself, as Starbucks purchases grains from farmers and cannot directly affect processes.
To achieve the task, the company will plant the trees resistant to sophisticated weather conditions, advise manufacturers about reducing fertilizer use, as well as restore the cut-down forests, especially in key coffee regions.
Another presented measure – buying quotas for carbon emissions on the open market so that by reducing their emissions by the seller to compensate for its own impact on the environment where it is impossible to reduce it.
According to the corporate strategy, by 2030, Starbucks should become a carbon neutral company. It suggests that all the emissions produced by it will be compensated.
