Starbucks Provides Corporate Jet to New CEO Brian Niccol
Starbucks is giving its new CEO Brian Niccol a corporate jet to facilitate his weekly commutes from California to Seattle. The arrangement has become a topic of discussion, with environmental concerns about the carbon footprint of private aviation.
Environmental Impact of Jet Travel
This decision comes in light of Starbucks’ commitment to sustainability, including their recent initiatives to reduce plastic usage. However, private jets are known for producing significantly higher emissions per passenger compared to commercial flights.
