Exhibit 1.01

Starbucks Corporation
Conflict Minerals Report(For the Calendar Year Ended December 31, 2014)

This is Starbucks Corporation’s (“Starbucks”) 2014 Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”) pursuant to Rule
13p-1 and Form SD (the “Conflict Minerals Rule”) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 for thereporting period of January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 (the “Reporting Period”).
I. Introduction
Starbucks sells a variety of merchandise, in addition to coffee and other food products, to customers
through our company-operated stores and to licensees and foodservice operators for re-sale to theircustomers. We also sell certain equipment (such as coffee brewers and espresso machines) and furniture
to some of these licensees and foodservice operators for their use but not for re-sale to customers. With
the exception of one piece of equipment Starbucks manufactures, all of these products are manufactured
directly or indirectly by our Suppliers.
II. Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
Starbucks conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) under the Conflict Minerals Rule todetermine whether any tantalum, tin, tungsten or gold (“Conflict Minerals” or “3TG”) necessary to thefunctionality or production of products which we manufactured or contracted to manufacture originated in
the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively, “Covered Countries” or“DRC”) or are from recycled or scrap sources. Starbucks assembled a team of Starbucks employees fromour Legal, Supply Chain and Global Responsibility functions. The team conducted an investigation tocompile a list of suppliers of potentially relevant products manufactured during the Reporting Period
containing Conflict Minerals. The team queried employees involved in procuring and selling suchproducts, including whether the Conflict Minerals were necessary for the functionality or production ofthe product and identifying the supplier of the product. If there was uncertainty whether Conflict
Minerals were necessary to the functionality or the production of the product, the supplier remained on
the list. A total of 73 suppliers (“Identified Suppliers”) were identified.
Starbucks engaged a third-party service provider (“Service Provider”) to assist Starbucks with our RCOI
and engage with Identified Suppliers. Based on this RCOI, Starbucks determined that it was required toexercise due diligence on the Conflict Minerals’ source and chain of custody.
III. Due Diligence
Due Diligence Design: Starbucks designed its due diligence measures based upon the internationallyrecognized due diligence framework set forth in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and1

Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals fromConflict-Affected and High Risk Areas (“OECD Guidance”).
Due Diligence Measures Performed
As part of our due diligence process, Starbucks worked with our Service Provider to collect information
about the presence and sourcing of Conflict Minerals used in the products and components supplied toStarbucks. Our Service Provider utilizes an on-line system to collect, store and review information
provided by suppliers, to identify downstream suppliers and sourcing practices, track information onsmelters and refiners and to identify risks in sourcing practices.
An introductory e-mail from Starbucks was sent to the Identified Suppliers describing the Conflict
Minerals Rule and identifying our Service Provider as the third-party service provider assisting Starbucks
with supplier engagement and the Conflict Minerals Rule’s compliance process. The introductory e-mailalso conveyed that Starbucks expected the Identified Suppliers to cooperate with the compliance process.
Following the introductory e-mail, our Service Provider sent a subsequent e-mail to the Identified
Suppliers containing a registration and survey request link for the on-line data collection platform.
Identified Suppliers were also given access to our Service Provider's supplier resource center. The Service
Provider's supplier resource center contains materials on the Conflict Minerals compliance requirements
and process, applicable regulation, and answers to frequently asked questions concerning Conflict
Minerals tracing.
Following the initial introductions to the program and information request, reminder e-mails were sent toeach non-responsive Identified Supplier requesting survey completion. Identified Suppliers who remained
non-responsive to these e-mail reminders were contacted by our Service Provider by telephone andoffered assistance. If, after these efforts, a given Identified Supplier still did not register with the systemor provide the information requested, Starbucks contacted these Identified Suppliers by e-mail to request
their participation in the program and our Service Provider followed up to this e-mail with a re-invitation
to the platform.
The program utilized the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative’s Conflict Minerals Reporting Template(“CMRT”). Identified Suppliers were asked to provide information regarding the sourcing of theirmaterials with the ultimate goal of identifying the 3TG smelters or refiners (“SORs”) and associated minecountries of origin.
The responses from Identified Suppliers were evaluated for plausibility, consistency and gaps, andadditional contact was made with those Identified Suppliers seeking to resolve inconsistencies and gaps.
Our Service Provider maintains an SOR database to document which companies are known metal
processors (i.e., verified) and which companies are exclusive recyclers, as well as mine country of origin
information and DRC conflict-free certification status. Our Service Provider collects SOR data submitted
by suppliers via CMRTs and compares it against its existing database. Supplier responses listing entities
that are not verified SORs are flagged and suppliers are asked for further clarification.
For those supply chains with SORs that are known or thought to be sourcing from the DRC, additional
investigation was conducted to determine the source and chain-of-custody of the Conflict Minerals. Our
Service Provider relied on the following internationally accepted audit standards to determine which
SORs were considered not to be sourcing Conflict Minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit
armed groups in the DRC: the CFSI Conflict-Free Smelter Program, the London Bullion Market
Association Good Delivery Program and the Responsible Jewellery Council Chain-of-Custody
Certification (such SORs are referred to as “Certified SORs”).
If the SOR was not certified by the above internationally-recognized standards, our Service Provider
attempted to contact the SOR to gain more information about their sourcing practices, including countries2

of origin and transfer, and whether there were any internal due diligence procedures in place or otherprocesses the SORs engaged in to track the chain-of-custody on the source of mineral ores.
In addition to the due diligence measures described above, we adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy
Statement, which is publicly available at http://www.starbucks.com/responsibility/learn-more/policies,and reported the due diligence results to senior management.
IV. Results of Due Diligence
Of the 73 Identified Suppliers engaged in the RCOI, 81% responded. Of these responding suppliers, 39%
indicated that the products they supplied to Starbucks contained Conflict Minerals necessary to thefunctionality or production of such products. These products include certain equipment sold to licensees.
Based on the due diligence described above, 287 SORs were identified as sources of Conflict Minerals
that may be contained in products we manufactured or contracted to manufacture during the Reporting
Period. These SORs are listed in Annex I below. Based on the due diligence, Starbucks believes that thecountries of origin of the Conflict Minerals may include the countries listed in Annex II below, as well as
recycled or scrap sources.
Of the 287 SORs that were identified as sources of Conflict Minerals through due diligence, there was anindication that 35 may have been sourcing from the DRC. As of April 15, 2015, 31 of these SORs wereCertified SORs and four were uncertified. However, three of the four uncertified SORs were actively
moving through the certification process or had committed to doing so within two years.
V. Future Measures
Starbucks intends to improve its due diligence measures by taking the following steps:•••

Working with its suppliers to help them understand and comply with the Starbucks Conflict
Minerals Policy Statement;
Continuing to work with its suppliers to obtain accurate information regarding their Conflict
Minerals’ SORs; andImplementing improvements in identifying suppliers whose products contain Conflict Minerals.
