Now more than ever, supplier diversity matters at SYSCO. Partnering with
minority- and woman-owned suppliers isn’t just good business—it’s good for
business. Diverse suppliers help SYSCO meet the changing demands of
foodservice operators while supporting strategic alliances that enable the
continued success of SYSCO, our customers and our supplier partners.

Our
commitment to the success of those who sustain our industry, including our
supplier partners, is strong—and it’s the reason why we seek to engage and retain
suppliers as diverse as the product lines we offer.
At SYSCO, we do business with over 300 minority- and woman-owned suppliers,
and each year this base continues to grow. Our total purchases from these
suppliers have grown from $280 million in fiscal year 2003 to $330 million in
2004—and we’re already on track to exceed $350 million in fiscal year 2005.
