Several weeks ago we asked Starbucks, at its annual meeting, about whether this shift away from straws actually created value for shareholders. Their response? “We have not disclosed the financial impact of strawless lids.” The fundamental question we were asking was about the sustainability assumption: that you can go green and make green at the same time.
