To give back to the communities where our partners (employees) and customers live and work. The majority of our giving was directed in four ways:

- To youth education programs that benefit diverse and underserved communities
- To environmental initiatives that help preserve biodiversity and build awareness in our communities
- To projects that support coffee-and tea-growing communities
