When Starbucks company wa first created it was very successful, but according to many sources, mnay Starbucks locations around the world are not doing well. Recently Starbucks has been losing more etical costumers in comparison to other global coffee companies, so The Times decided to conduct a survey to discover why this was happening. The survery found tat the environmental and sourcing conditions were responsible for the decine in Starbucks` footprint. Many customers argued that Starbucks`claim to be environmentally friendly was false, as many customers reported that Starbucks locations would keep their water taps running constantly, just for washing their utensils. Starbucks was criticized for their attempt to register the trademark of its coffee to be `Fair Trade. ` This rsulted in a loss of 47 million in one year. The main ethical issues that Starbucks locations faced was environmental and consumer issues which resulted in a significant profit lost for The Starbucks corporation. Starbucks`response to the ethical issues is to try and meet the consumer need by trying to conserve water as much as possible and do what they can to be recongnized as an environmentally friendly global coffee company. They are trying to remain environmentally friendly by building greener stores (stores that conserve energy and water), providing recycling bins in store and to reduce packing as much as possible.
