Starbucks received a shareholder letter from the State Board of Administration of Florida (SBA) asking the Compensation and Management Development Committee to remove demographic outcome metrics (retention and internal promotion rates for underrepresented employees) from the annual cash short-term incentive plan (STIP).
The SBA notes Starbucks has indicated Talent & Belonging outcomes account for approximately 25% of annual cash bonuses and requests the committee instead refocus STIP human-capital accountability on operationally grounded recruiting and talent metrics, publish a concise STIP Talent Management & Recruiting Scorecard, and, if demographic metrics are retained, disclose full methodology, multi-year results, and guardrails.
Trillium Asset Management submitted a Rule 14a-103 exempt solicitation urging Starbucks shareholders to vote AGAINST the re-election of Directors Jørgen Vig Knudstorp and Beth Ford at the 2026 annual meeting, citing sustained oversight failures on labor relations.
The letter documents a multi-year unionization campaign involving over 11,000 baristas, cites more than 700 unfair labor practice charges and related NLRB activity, a $38.9 million NYC Fair Workweek settlement, and the Board’s creation then elimination of a labor‑oversight committee. The proponents argue these developments, plus reduced shareholder engagement, justify withholding support for the two directors.
Starbucks Corporation faces an exempt solicitation urging shareholders to vote against the re-election of Directors Jørgen Vig Knudstorp and Beth Ford for alleged sustained oversight failures of labor relations, including a reversal of a board committee created for labor oversight.
The letter cites more than 11,000 baristas unionized with Starbucks, 125 new union wins in 2025, ongoing bargaining stalemates after a stated goal to ratify a first contract in 2024, and a $38.9 million New York City settlement over Fair Workweek violations covering 2021–2024.
Starbucks Corporation faces an exempt solicitation from the New York Comptroller and allied investors urging shareholders to vote against the re-election of Directors Jørgen Vig Knudstorp and Beth Ford at the March 25, 2026 annual meeting for alleged sustained oversight failures of labor relations.
The letter cites the growth of Starbucks Workers United to over 11,000 unionized baristas, 125 additional stores unionizing in 2025, more than 700 unfair labor practice charges in the earliest organizing years, ALJ decisions and an NYC $38.9 million Fair Workweek settlement. It argues the Board created then dissolved a dedicated labor oversight committee (EPCI) and reduced shareholder engagement while bargaining and strike activity have resumed.
Starbucks reported mixed first-quarter fiscal 2026 results. Net revenue rose to $9.9 billion from $9.4 billion, driven by 4% global comparable store sales growth, higher U.S. traffic, international gains, and stronger Global Coffee Alliance and ready‑to‑drink sales.
Profitability weakened sharply. Operating margin fell to 9.0% from 11.9% as labor investments under the “Back to Starbucks” strategy, inflation, restructuring charges of $88.1 million, and higher interest expense weighed on results. Net earnings dropped to $293.3 million from $780.8 million, largely due to a one‑time $266 million tax impact tied to China.
Strategic moves were significant. Starbucks classified its China retail operations as held for sale ahead of a planned joint venture with Boyu Capital, reclassifying $4.7 billion of assets and $1.8 billion of liabilities. The deal is based on an approximately $4 billion enterprise value and is expected to close in early calendar 2026.

The proxy highlights the “Back to Starbucks” turnaround, with fiscal 2025 consolidated net revenues of $37.2 billion, up 3%, but GAAP operating margin contracting to 7.9% and GAAP EPS falling 51% to $1.63, largely due to restructuring, investments, and inflation. Non-GAAP operating margin was 9.9% and non-GAAP EPS was $2.13, both down year-over-year. The global store count reached 40,990, and U.S. Starbucks Rewards 90-day active members grew to 34.2 million. Starbucks returned $2.8 billion to shareholders through dividends and marked its 15th consecutive annual dividend increase.
