Lawsuit claims coffee chain procured materials from farms and cooperatives that have committed violations against workers
Starbucks, the coffee chain that has long portrayed itself as an ethical business and fair employer, is being sued by a US consumer group that claims its image is a deception that hides multiple instances of labor and human rights violations in the making of its products.
While the coffee giant has committed to “100% ethical” sourcing, the lawsuit claims it has instead misled the public by procuring materials from farms and cooperatives that have committed various violations against workers.
