Specialty Companies
Focusing on local markets allows Sysco to better understand our customers and the ever-changing tastes of their customer base. That’s why our 90 broadline operating companies serve a wide spectrum of local and national foodservice operators — single-location restaurants, multi-city hospitality groups, hotels, volume institutions, entertainment venues and more.
Sysco also has 21 SYGMA operating locations featuring centralized and streamlined functionality. This arrangement allows us to work closely with the complex corporate purchasing systems of national and regional restaurant chains. Plus, it ensures that the entire process runs as smoothly as possible for everyone.
We complement our product and service offerings by engaging local, niche and specialty providers. For example, our specialty produce companies and meat companies address the need for unique and differentiated products, while our hospitality industry partners distribute equipment, textiles, accessories and personal care amenities to hotels and other lodging facilities.

Quality? Rest assured. When it comes to Quality Assurance, Sysco leads the way. Our more than 100 QA professionals represent the largest, most active department in the industry. Together, they are dedicated to one goal: to deliver products that meet the most stringent standards in terms of quality, safety and consistency. Sysco brand products are evaluated for flavor, appearance, nutrition, packaging, convenience and many other factors to make sure our customers receive the best quality and value available.
Supplier Approval All potential Sysco brand suppliers must pass strict auditing and inspection processes that exceed current government standards. Suppliers are audited for HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) compliance, sanitation, pest control, foreign materials prevention and more. Suppliers of high-risk products, once approved, are audited regularly by Sysco QA staff to ensure ongoing compliance.
Temperature-Controlled Supply Chain To ensure the best in food safety, quality and freshness, our cold chain is never broken. Every Sysco product passes through numerous temperature control points, including fully insulated, multi-temperature trailers; transport temperature monitoring by specially trained Sysco Delivery Associates; chilled docks; and designated temperature zones within every warehouse.
Packaging Integrity Sysco is an industry leader in packaging criteria, transparency and labeling practices. All Sysco brand products are clearly labeled with nutritional information, ingredients, production/ use-by dates, potential allergens, and proper handling, storage and distribution information.
Recall Notification In the event of a recall, Sysco uses the industry’s most sophisticated and accurate notification system to investigate and react to recall notices and safety concerns immediately.
Verification and Monitoring After passing our Supplier Approval Process, we routinely monitor suppliers’ product quality and food safety systems to ensure compliance and customer satisfaction.

Green things come from Sysco.
Customers We understand that our customers can help address the overall environmental impact of doing business in today’s world. That’s why we work closely with restaurant owners, schools and other customers to share what we’ve learned and to help them meet their sustainability goals.
Innovations
One of Sysco’s guiding value statements is “We do what is right to serve our customers, associates, investors and society.” That means doing the right thing for our environment as well, like advocating low-impact farming methods, using hybrid diesel delivery trucks and offering biodegradable takeout containers. That also means partnering with the EPA, USDA and World Wildlife Fund to promote more sustainable practices across our entire supply chain. When it comes to sustainability, Sysco is committed to creating positive change in our industry, our company and in the communities we serve. We base our programs on sound science and meaningful metrics, and we are committed to transparently communicating our results as we work toward reducing the environmental impact of doing business.
Sysco is constantly evaluating and adopting new methods for reducing environmental impact. Our green initiatives and innovations include: • On-site hydrogen generation plants for warehouse vehicles • Improved inventory and delivery routing to save fuel and curb emissions • Delivery driver training courses to improve fuel economy practices • Reducing kilowatt usage by 19 percent across the entire company • Monitoring resource usage at every level to reduce our overall carbon footprint
Nutrition
Suppliers All suppliers must abide by Sysco’s Supplier Code of Conduct. Sysco Brand suppliers must also adhere to our Good Agricultural Practices Program to help us set new standards and share what we’ve learned. We encourage and empower all of our suppliers, farmers, ranchers and food processors to operate in more sustainable ways.
Operations Sysco continues to make significant efforts to reduce the overall carbon footprint of doing business. We are improving our operations and distribution processes by incorporating the latest in renewable technologies — from hybrid/electric and LNG-powered delivery vehicles to energy efficient warehouses employing hydrogenpowered pallet trucks and forklifts.
