23 Jan 2020 --- Starbucks’ CEO, Kevin Johnson, has unveiled the company’s new sustainability goals which notably include moving away from single-use plastics and toward more efficient waste management. The announcement comes as sustainability is on the agenda as Davos 2020 and a global anti-single-use plastics sentiment continues to grow. Starbucks also pledged to expand its plant-based offerings and slash water usage in half. To achieve this, the company will join the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s New Plastics Economy Global Commitment alongside major players, such as Nestlé, Unilever and Pepsico.
