Together these actions represent a broader commitment than the shareholder proposal requests and follow our introduction in 2019 of our annual Civil Rights Assessment, which has become a model for others to follow. This impact assessment work is already underway. It is clear from the vote result in the proposal that our investors share our commitment to our partners, and we will continue to improve the partner experience by engaging them on our industry-leading, partner-first initiatives. This assessment work is intended to inform Starbucks leadership and our board of directors of any changes we can make to our operations to improve the partner experience. Our focus is on using any findings to understand how we can best support our partners. We expect to make the results of the human rights impact assessment available to shareholders, stakeholders, and other interested parties, subject to the legal privilege considerations described in our board recommendation.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Forward-Looking Statements</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Certain statements contained herein are &#8220;forward-looking&#8221; statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws and regulations.

Item 7.01    Regulation FD Disclosure.
As previously discussed in our 2023 proxy statement and in our supplemental materials (filed on March 3, 2023), Starbucks is undertaking an independent, third-party human rights impact assessment, which will include a deeper-level review of the principles of freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining. Together these actions represent a broader commitment than the shareholder proposal requests and follow our introduction in 2019 of our annual Civil Rights Assessment, which has become a model for others to follow. This impact assessment work is already underway. It is clear from the vote result in the proposal that our investors share our commitment to our partners, and we will continue to improve the partner experience by engaging them on our industry-leading, partner-first initiatives. This assessment work is intended to inform Starbucks leadership and our board of directors of any changes we can make to our operations to improve the partner experience. Our focus is on using any findings to understand how we can best support our partners. We expect to make the results of the human rights impact assessment available to shareholders, stakeholders, and other interested parties, subject to the legal privilege considerations described in our board recommendation.
