  „JAPAN - Since it opened its first store in Tokyo’s Ginza district in 1996, Starbucks has opened 467 stores in Japan. Last year, Howard Schultz, chairman of the Starbucks group, set out plans for growth in the country with a target of 1,000 stores by 2007. But in May, Starbucks' Japanese business, a joint venture with the Sazaby Inc., announced an annual loss of $3.9 million on revenues of $467 million, according to Business Week. Starbucks seems to have expanded at a rate that could not be justified by sales or profits.“

BBC News | BUSINESS | Starbucks takes on its critics

  „This year, for example, Starbucks will buy a million pounds of Fair Trade coffee, less than 1% of the company's total purchases. For its part, Starbucks resents being picked on. "If you were really sincere, for example, about doing something about GMOs in food, you wouldn't protest in front of Starbucks," says Mr Smith. "You would go to your supermarket, where 70% or more has GMO content, and try to make your case - because that could make a difference."
