It is the overarching mission of Starbucks, and the actions that they have taken to achieve
this mission, that have allowed for the organization to be recognized as One of the Most
Admired Companies in America by Forbes from 2003-2015 and one of the Worlds Most
Ethical Companies by Ethisphere from 2007-2015 (Starbucks Company Recognition, 2017,
pp.1-2). These are only a few of the awards that Starbucks has received for commitment to its
mission; yet, they serve as a testament to the worldwide phenomenon that is Starbucks Coffee.
Utilizing five different social media platforms, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest,
Tumblr, Snapchat and Instagram, Starbucks strives to produce creative and captivating content
that is informative to their audience. However, according to the policies provided by the
corporation, user content has a list of stipulations that needs to be met. Starbucks states that user
content may not violate any applicable law, contain any obscene or profane language and must
explicitly state a relationship with Starbucks if employed or compensated by the corporation
(Starbucks Social Media Terms and Conditions, 2017, pp. 2).
The policies of the company also explicitly state that user content may not be accurate,
complete, reliable or up-to-date and Starbucks claims no liability for the content (Starbucks
Social Media Terms and Conditions, 2017, pp. 3). In addition to this, Starbucks reserves the right
to review and delete any user content posted to social channels that violates the terms and
conditions of the corporation.
