It ties responsibility for governance choices to Director Knudstorp (NCG Chair during CEO/Chair recombination) and Director Ford (former EPCI Chair), while stating the authors welcome renewed bargaining but consider board oversight still insufficient.

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.
