[Gordon Quilty message to Starbucks 27 February 2006] I was concerned to read...that Starbucks has an outlet for the US military in Guantanamo Bay...the indefinite detention of suspects at Guantanamo Bay is...a serious violation of international law...Starbucks having an outlet there...would...lead people to reconsider your company's commitment to corporate social responsibility. [Starbucks response to Gordon Quilty 6 March 2006] Dear Mr Quilty...Starbucks currently has many We Proudly Brew foodservice locations in military installations across the United States as well as internationally...Many U.S. military personnel have let us know that they miss their Starbucks Experience...Many of our customers and partners (employees) also believe that it is important for Starbucks to support the men and women serving their country. [Gordon Quilty message to Starbucks 6 March 2006] I would be grateful if you could please let me know whether Starbucks has taken a position on the detention centre at Guantanamo Bay...does Starbucks consider the detention centre to be in violation of international human rights and humanitarian law?...many international human rights organisations, governments, NGOs, the UN...have highlighted the human rights abuses taking place at the detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay and have called for it to be closed. [Starbucks response to Gordon Quilty 20 March 2006] Dear Mr Quilty...Human Rights...is an issue we take very seriously...we have recognized the need to explore a more formal Human Rights policy-and we hope you'll be pleased to learn...[a] team of Starbucks senior leaders has been working to create a robust Human Rights policy that will live up to Starbucks standards of excellence and to our Guiding Principles.
