Star­bucks gets se­rious with the sub­ject of sustaina­bi­li­ty. In fu­ture, new cof­fee hou­ses are to be cer­ti­fied ac­cor­ding to the LEED stan­dard. The first of these new and en­vi­ron­men­tal­ly con­scious cof­fee bars in Ger­ma­ny has been es­ta­blis­hed at the Alt­markt in Dres­den, on the ground floor of a new hotel buil­ding de­si­gned by the Dres­den de­sign of­fices Pfau Ar­chi­tek­ten for the Spa­nish NH group. In ex­plai­ning the new de­sign con­cept, which takes up the co­lours of the cof­fee world and makes li­be­ral use of wood to crea­te a plea­sant and quiet at­mo­s­phe­re for en­joy­ing cof­fee, Ross Sha­dix, Ma­na­ging Di­rec­tor of Star­bucks Cof­fee Deutsch­land sta­tes: "As of 2011, all our new cof­fee hou­ses will be built ac­cor­ding to the same en­vi­ron­men­tal and de­sign stan­dards that we are pre­sen­ting to our guests for the first time here."
