Starbucks responds

As I blogged earlier, I sent an email to Starbucks, I include the response below. My Catbert translation: Our PR campaign is working. This blogger has advertised for Starbucks. We are very pleased.

But I am also pleased that as a side benefit it supports the lesbigay community. Hooray!

Dear Thida,

Thank you for contacting Starbucks Coffee Company. We sincerely appreciate your comments about our efforts to support diversity.

As a Company, we are deeply committed to our Mission Statement and Guiding Principles. One of our six principles is "embracing diversity as an essential component to the way we do business." This includes the gay and lesbian community.

Starbucks has a long history of giving back to communities where we operate. We strive to support organizations that are important to our partners (employees) and customers.

Again, thank you for contacting Starbucks Coffee Company.

Sincerely,

Jessa M.

Starbucks Customer Relations
