The organisation received the award for the work it has undertaken across its British sites to improve sustainability. This includes increasing recycling rates of materials like wooden pallets, cardboard and shrink wrap.

The award recognises Sysco’s work since 2019 to cut waste per £M turnover by 15.2%, while increasing recycling and reuse rates from 83% to 88%. Donation partnerships at every site have contributed to millions of meals donated to charity partners, including more than 13m meals through FareShare.

Sysco is also helping to reduce waste at its customers sites by training its own chefs and sales teams in techniques and ideas that deliver more sustainable meals for everyone, alongside new products that help to control waste.

Paul Nieduszynski, chief executive of Sysco GB, commented: “We are absolutely delighted to have won this sought-after award. It’s recognition of all the work that goes on behind the scenes to ensure that Sysco leads the way in sustainability in Great Britain. Across our business, in every depot, we champion doing the right thing and this award belongs to all those colleagues who help us put sustainability first.”
