Starbucks and Business Ethics

The purpose of this paper is to explore and examine Starbucks' leadership in ethical and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policies and practices. This is a case study, an analytical approach, which focuses on exploring and analyzing the ethical and CSR policies to measure Starbucks's ethical behavior in a business environment. Starbucks's ethical and CSR policies are ingrained into the business itself as a part of its business operations, and the leadership of Starbucks not only behaves ethically but also sets an ethical standard for employees and other businesses to follow. Starbucks is probably one of the most ethical multinational corporations in the world today. This case demonstrates the importance of the ethical and CSR standards for other businesses to follow.
