Sustainability

As a leading foodservice distributor, we understand we have an opportunity to positively impact our customers, their diners, our associates and the communities where we live and work. Our longstanding focus on innovating and differentiating our products; maintaining a safe, diverse and inclusive workplace; and improving the efficiency of our fleet and facilities exemplifies our approach to sustainability.

In our 2023 Sustainability Report, we are pleased to share progress highlights for each of our key sustainability focus areas: Products, People and Planet.

  • PRODUCTS – Growing our portfolio of products that meet our criteria for being local, sustainable or supporting well-being by working with our suppliers to source and offer products with social or environmental benefits, as well as maintaining our continued commitment to food safety and quality
  • PEOPLE – Making a positive difference in the lives of our associates and in the communities we serve by fostering an inclusive, dynamic and safe workplace where our associates can grow and thrive, and by investing in our communities through giving and volunteerism
  • PLANET – Engaging in best practices to improve the efficiency of our facilities and fleet and to help reduce the environmental footprint of our operations, including committing to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goals, as approved by SBTI in December 2022
