„Starbucks, which says Fair Trade coffee accounts for about 1 percent of the coffee it buys, started an incentive system three years ago that paid premiums of up to 10 cents a pound to growers who met certain social and environmental criteria, such as paying at least minimum wage and treating and recycling the water used to wash beans. Starbucks says it paid an average of $1.20 a pound for the unroasted coffee it bought last year.“

„In New York this week, the non-profit Rainforest Alliance saluted coffee industry leaders, from small Latin-American coffee growers to large retailers like Starbucks, for their environmentally and socially responsible business practices. The Rainforest Alliance has been the driving force behind convincing industry leaders that producing and selling coffee that doesn't destroy forests, endanger wildlife or exploit laborers is good for business. Persuading coffee lovers to pay more for a higher quality bean may be the toughest challenge ahead.“
