Starbucks may be global in scope, but it strives to be local in function through being a good neighbor in the communities it serves. Starbucks makes the business case for community involvement by quantifying its impact in five ways:

1. It increases employee moral, work performance, and attendance.
It increases employee retention rates
3. It increases employees’ leadership skills
4. It enhances a company’s reputation
5. It improves a publicly traded company’s stock performance and attracts investors
