Protecting the Sustainability of Supply Sources

We are ever mindful of -- and committed to -- our mission of helping our customers succeed, whether they are a major chain, an independent neighborhood diner, a hospital or long-term care facility, a school or a summer camp, or any of the variety of foodservice customers we serve. SYSCO is committed to protecting its sources of food supply for the long term

and to the distribution of only those products that meet our specific and exacting quality and safety standards. In fact, in October 2004, Craig Watson, a 26-year SYSCO associate and Vice president of Quality Assurance, assumed additional responsibility for agricultural sustainability at SYSCO. His role is to broaden SYSCO's impact on agricultural sustainability issues and to initiate programs to foster the success of highly differentiated products that are profitable to all stakeholders, to encourage farmer ownership and control and to contribute to environmental stewardship and rural vitality.
