2010 Annual Report 11
Leadership
From our founding by John Baugh, who
first envisioned a national foodservice
distribution network, Sysco has a his-
tory of strong leaders. The members
ofour senior management team are
respected across the industry for their
insight and commitment to the quality
of the foodservice business.
As the largest foodservice distributor
inNorth America, Sysco takes an active
role in industry associations such as the
International Foodservice Distributors
Association. We also provide support
atboth local and national levels to
nonprofit organizations that work to
endhunger.
Breadth of Services
While food is at the heart of our business, Sysco offers a surprising breadth
ofproducts and services to support our customers, from restaurant design
consulting to kitchen composting systems.
We distribute kitchen equipment, dining room furniture, linens, dishes and
glassware; offer a wide selection of eco-friendly paper and disposable serving
items; and, through a new partnership with EcoLab, provide high-quality
cleaning and food safety items.
We also partner with a range of service providers who can design and print
menus, develop and buy advertising, repair an air conditioner, manage payrolls
and even provide insurance and employee benefits. These services, under our
aptly named Sysco iCare umbrella, leverage Sysco’s scale to benefit independent
restaurant owners.
