  • Business: Be a valued and trusted business partner to connect with our increasingly diverse customer and supplier base
  • Legal: Maintain our compliance with government rules and regulations

Our Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives

  • Establish Alignment: We partner with our operating companies to align our key business practices with the core values of diversity and inclusion.
  • Integrate and Reinforce: To reinforce diversity and inclusion as core values in our company, Sysco will integrate relevant communications in ongoing business processes, and enhance core aspects of our employee learning curriculum.
