Message From Chairman, CEO and President Rick Schnieders
Our society is more diverse today than at any time in the past, a rich tapestry that
comprises countless different backgrounds, ethnicities and attitudes...

Our people tell the story
At SYSCO, we've implemented programs that enable us to recruit the best and brightest from a broad range of cultures--and that helps
our employees live up to their full potential while helping our customers succeed.

Workforce
Over one quarter of SYSCO's employees are people of color, and one fifth are women. We're proud that talented professionals
of all backgrounds see SYSCO as a place of unlimited opportunity where they can make a difference.

Suppliers
We do business with over 300 minority and woman-owned suppliers with total purchases from these suppliers growing each year.
We expect to exceed $350 million in purchases from these suppliers in fiscal year 2005.

Leadership
To ensure that SYSCO continues to enjoy the benefits of a diverse workplace, we must ensure that the spirit of
diversity endures in the attitudes of our employees--particularly the future leaders who will guide the company in coming years.
