Starbucks announced September 13 that the brand would commit to designing, building, and operating 10,000 of what it calls “Greener Stores” globally by 2025. This will encompass existing stores, new builds, and renovations. These Greener Stores will focus on energy efficiency and water stewardship by deploying technologies and practices that will deliver 30 percent water savings and 25 percent avoided energy over store design practices.
