Our Global Inclusion Network
Our Inclusion team takes the lead in developing and socializing our inclusion initiatives with support from passionate colleagues throughout the enterprise.
Colleague Resource Groups (CRGs)
Our CRGs create a strong sense of belonging and connection for colleagues around the globe. Together, they help Sysco recognize culturally significant occasions, while creating a safe space and sense of community for colleagues. Click here to view our Colleague Resource Groups.
Global Council
Sysco’s Global DEI Council was established in FY2021. The Council reflects Sysco’s broader colleague population with representation across dimensions of diversity such as geographic location, career level and Sysco tenure. The Council was instrumental in developing the 3-year Better Together roadmap and acts as a sounding board for inclusion-related practices.
Global Ambassadors
Sysco’s Global Ambassadors were established in FY2021 and, like the Council, reflect the broader colleague population across many dimensions of diversity. Ambassadors serve as “influencers” throughout the organization, championing inclusion strategies and initiatives to ensure broad communication and alignment.
