This initiative is being run in partnership with the environmental non-profit organization Fair Trade. It should provide small farmers in Africa or Asia with some financial assistance.
The move is part of the coffee company's Shared Planet program, which aims to commit the company to do business responsibly.
According to the Fair Trade web site, every Starbucks around United Kingdom and Ireland will have 100% Fair trade certificate coffee.
This means that the chain will become the largest purchaser of coffee in the world sponsored by Fair trade.
So enjoy your coffee and the thought that you can improve the lives of people in under-developed countries by doing so.
