Each day, we work hard with our colleagues and stakeholders to put our purpose into action. Here are some of the ways we connected the world to share food and care for one another in FY2022.
People Our associates are passionate about bringing Sysco’s purpose to life. We supported them by providing resources to connect with their colleagues and communities and to develop in their careers. We also began socializing Sysco’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) strategy across our organization—establishing the structures, resources and behaviors to ensure that everyone has a seat at our table.

About This Report Sysco At-A-Glance Integrating Our Purpose and Recipe for Growth Strategy Advancing Our Sustainability Goals Our Purpose in Action Leadership Perspectives Planet In line with our Recipe for Growth strategy, we continued to practice good environmental stewardship. From the U.S. to the U.K. to Sweden and beyond, we invested deeply in renewable energy and reduced-carbon solutions. We are proud to have been the first company in our industry to commit to a science-based target to reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. We announced our commitment to purchase up to 800 electric trucks and piloted an electric refrigerated trailer, which we believe will ultimately result in our ability to make deliveries to our customers in fully electric and very quiet vehicles. This supports our goal to electrify 35% of our U.S. tractor fleet by 2030.
Expanded our Sustainable Agriculture Program to include 10 fresh crops
Installed a new solar panel array system in Britain and announced new solar farm projects at Sysco Edmonton and a new Calgary facility in Canada Expanded our indoor agriculture partnerships Committed to purchasing up to 800 electric trucks and piloted an electric refrigeration trailer


Governance As we grew our business to help connect and feed more people around the world, Sysco remained rooted in strong corporate governance. Our leaders continued to drive transformative change by engaging with stakeholders to understand their evolving priorities and needs. In FY2022, our Board of Directors elected three new independent directors. They also continued to focus on diverse Board recruitment so that Sysco can benefit from a range of leadership perspectives.
