COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY

At Sysco, we’re creating a global culture that is decidedly diverse, equitable and inclusive.

Every individual at Sysco contributes to our Purpose, bringing a unique skillset and perspective to their work each day. Simply put, we’re better together. That’s why we’re working hard to foster a culture of belonging that enables us to care for one another and connect the world through food and trusted partnerships. As we embed DEI principles across our business, we are building structures, resources, and behaviors to ensure that everyone has a seat—and a voice—at Sysco’s table.

Sysco is honoured to be a Proud Partner of Pride at Work Canada and values the efforts of this leading organization as it works to achieve its goals of breaking barriers to employment and advancement in the workplace faced by the 2SLGBTQ+ community.

VISION FOR THE FUTURE

We’re growing our global workforce, and we want that growth to reflect the diverse customers and vibrant communities Sysco serves.

From our frontline colleagues to our leadership, we’re making strides in ensuring Sysco’s teams reflect the world around us. Opening our doors to a wider array of candidates sets the stage for the kind of creative, innovative thinking that fuels business growth—a distinct competitive advantage. At the same time, it creates new pathways for those who have long been underrepresented in our industry to chart meaningful careers. Our aim is to create an equitable, inclusive environment where talented people of all backgrounds want to come—and stay. Our strength lies in valuing our differences while uniting behind Sysco’s purpose.

Sysco’s colleague resource group (CRG), Spectrum, advocates for the 2SLGBTQ+ community along the entire spectrum of sexual orientation and gender identity diversity by:

• Inspiring a safe workplace culture for colleagues to be visible as their authentic selves
• Developing and mentoring 2SLGBTQ+ individuals to grow their talents, careers, and self-esteem
• Educating Sysco on the issues facing the 2SLGBTQ+ community to ensure we have policies and procedures that will attract and retain the very best talent
• Celebrating the value of Allies and their contributions to diversity and inclusion
• Honoring and advancing the accomplishments of 2SLGBTQ+ disruptors and change-makers

As we continue to nurture a workplace that reflects Sysco colleagues, customers, and suppliers, we prioritize our commitment to DEI. With Sysco, everyone has a seat and a voice at our table.
