Entering its 21st anniversary, Starbucks has expanded to more than 40 cities in Indonesia by the end of 2022, with more than 4,300 partners who are proud to wear the green apron. And today, the company offers many ways for customers to connect with their loved ones over a high-quality cup of Starbucks coffee.
In its mission to make a difference in the lives of those connected with Starbucks, the company also strives to make a positive impact in the communities it serves.

At the end of 2022, Starbucks also opened its first Signing Store in Indonesia to provide an inclusive work environment that is unified in Sign Language. In collaboration with the Farmers Support Center in Berastagi, North Sumatra, more than 500,000 coffee seeds have been donated to coffee farmers through the Art in the Cup program. And as an appreciation to the frontline responders of the Covid-19 outbreak, more than 50,000 cups of the drink have been donated to hospitals and vaccination centers.
