Sysco Corporate Culture

Sysco's Diversity Objective: To create a competitive and innovative business environment by leveraging the diversity of thought, experience and people.

"A critical success factor in foodservice distribution is recognition that, like many other industries, ours is shaped by the changing socio-economic and cultural trends in our marketplace. Understanding diversity requires a respect and appreciation of differences. By supporting and embracing diversity, we are gaining new ideas and learning new ways to solve problems and make better business decisions that will have far-reaching and lasting benefits for our customers, our shareholders and our employees.

In order to leverage diversity's benefits, Sysco has built a strategic business model which develops, implements and integrates best business practices in four distinct, yet related areas: leadership, workforce, supplier and community. We believe this approach will provide the best value and the most opportunity to honor our commitment. Diversity contributes significantly to a competitive advantage and allows us to achieve our mission of helping our customers succeed."
