(PESP Supporter since June 2005)

SYSCO, the largest foodservice marketing and distribution organization in North America, provides food and related products and services to approximately 400,000 restaurants, healthcare and educational facilities, lodging establishments and other foodservice customers, generating sales of $30.0 billion for calendar year 2004.

Working with its suppliers, SYSCO has initiated a sustainable agriculture program. This effort includes sustainable practice audits which are currently being implemented with suppliers of canned and frozen fruit and vegetable suppliers. The audits address supplier practices including Integrated Pest Management, nutrient management, and energy, water, and other resource conservation. SYSCO is participating in PESP to learn from other participants and to share what they are leaning with them. SYSCO is committed to applying the latest and best science to their initiative, including encouraging environmentally meaningful practices and measuring and reporting the impacts of their efforts.
