We are planning to build on our work with diversity and inclusion by expanding our efforts to promote a culture of inclusion for our partners, customers and communities that we serve. We will need to ensure that our leaders are prepared to lead a multicultural team of individuals leveraging the diversity of perspectives, thoughts and insights to develop products and services for our customers.
We will continue to recruit and develop our partners to be effective at building a workplace that leverages our assets for high performance. And we will redefine the way we engage with diverse community organizations and institutions to build strategic relationships. We invite community organizations to propose ways to engage with us. This new engagement model allows us to find ways to collaborate and build value for our global communities, community based organizations and Starbucks.
