OpenInvest recently launched an investment screen (#WithRefugees) that has identified 21 public American companies “making significant contributions to refugee survival and welfare.”
Included among the companies are Starbucks, Facebook, UPS, IBM and Chipotle.
OpenInvest notes that Starbucks has committed to hire 10,000 refugees over the next five years, while Chipotle proactively recruits refugees through the International Rescue Committee.
On World Refugee Day (June 20), Starbucks said it plans to hire 2,500 refugees to work at its coffee shops in Europe (Seattle Times, June 20, 2017).
Starbucks has pledged to hire 10,000 refugees by 2022.
