By offering an open environment to diversity, we are able to utilize unique perspectives and strengths that prepare our company for explosive growth.

Our Best Brand Builders are values that give our company a foundation for every action we take while performing our jobs. Our first Brand Builder is to “win together as a team.” To successfully win together, we must work together. Collaboration of a diverse team is critical to our success. By incorporating our team’s differences, we are driving innovation and actively evolving our brand.

Our diverse workforce offers us the advantage of recognizing other cultures and ideas and prepares our company to serve our current and future customers.

General managers and area coaches attend a two-hour diversity session every 18 months in the field. Common scenarios that arise in the restaurants and the diversity impact of these instances are discussed openly. General managers and area coaches explore how culture, policies and procedures can exclude certain groups of people and how to rectify these issues. The managers and coaches also participate in numerous affinity exercises.

Diversity Statement: DIFFERENCES = STRENGTHWe believe in celebrating differences that make a good company great and in leveraging individual strengths to create an innovative, inclusive and unified team.

LPFW – Leadership Principles for Women Mentorship Program• The objective of this program is to attract, develop and elevate high-potential women leaders

for future development.• LPFW is intended to provide opportunities for women leaders to create networks and develop

mentoring relationships with other leaders at Brinker.• LPFW was implemented in 2006 after a group of women leaders got together at the Women’s

Foodservice Forum Conference and decided to create a program in which all women leaders within our restaurants could benefit and grow.

Community Engagement Model – Implemented 2005Our Restaurant operators have the potential to serve as community ambassadors, keeping our Diversity & Inclusion team abreast of community needs and opportunities as well as keeping our restaurants relevant within our changing communities.

Our involvement in Community Groups and Chamber of Commerce activities are ways to promote business development, networking and mentoring and allow us to connect with minority-owned businesses.

It is extending our spirit of hospitality to the Community at large.

Brinker provides a Community Engagement Model Guide to each of our restaurants so that they can build relationships with the community. We are involved and share our resources and knowledge to help the community members and organizations to improve the future of the community.

Supplier Diversity - Dedicated head count since 2006Our company has a robust and growing MWBE program in place. This has been accomplished by networking and benchmarking with other SDPs – sharing what works, what does not, and dialoguing new ideas. Our primary focus is our commitment to increase spending with certified MWBEs.

Give Back NightsChili’s Give Back Nights started as a way for our restaurants to partner with their communities. We start this program by linking up with a local organization to raise funds. It’s a simple fund raiser that provides a percentage of proceeds back to our partner in the community and gives awareness to the group we are supporting. This has truly shown to be a success with Giving Back to the community!

BURGER KING CORPORATION

POSITION ON DIVERSITY

DIVERSITY PROGRAMS

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION“Our Way” Of Doing Business the Right WayOur culture enables us to focus on the people we work with – our employees, franchisees and suppliers – and the more than 11 million guests we serve every day in our restaurants. Diversity, to us, connotes those factors that make each of us different such as our age, gender, race, culture, way of thinking and sexual orientation. Inclusion defines how we view diversity and how we make everyone in the BURGER KING® family feel valued and respected.

We incorporate diversity and inclusion into our business strategies not only because it makes good business sense but because it is the right way to conduct business. As much as we’ve charted our global business expansion, we have also mapped out a dynamic inclusion strategy that is woven into every facet of our business, providing the greatest return for years to come.

Inclusion is critical to “how” we continue to progress and transform; it reflects the skill of leveraging our diversity effectively to achieve our goals, drive our strategy, and enhance our culture. We integrate its benefits into every part of our business when we:

• Recruit, retain, and develop qualified employees from diverse backgrounds;• Create a work environment where people of every age, background, nationality and culture

can thrive both personally and professionally;• Integrate respect for diversity into the daily interactions between our employees and

leadership;• Value our current franchisees and embrace new qualified diverse partners;• Create business opportunities in our system for qualified suppliers owned by women and

minorities; and• Maintain an ever-expanding tradition of good corporate citizenship with a commitment to the

communities in which we live and do business

1) INCLUSION STEERING COMMITTEETo help chart the course of our inclusion journey, Burger King Corp. (BKC) has established an Inclusion Steering Committee chaired by our chairman and CEO and composed of senior level company executives. This internal committee meets every six weeks to review the progress made toward set goals under our inclusion strategy for each fiscal year.

2) DIVERSITY ACTION COUNCILIn addition to our Inclusion Steering Committee, BKC has partnered for many years with aDiversity Action Council (DAC), which serves as an independent, working advisory body to help formulate and evaluate business goals related to BURGER KING®‘s diverse franchisees, suppliers, guests and employees and various other ethnic business communities. The DAC is also chaired by our chairman and CEO and is composed of several BKC executive team members, representatives from the BURGER KING® system’s Minority Franchisee Association, the International Hispanic Franchisee Association and the Asian Franchisee Association as well as independent community leaders. The DAC collaborates with BKC on how to maximize our inclusion strategies into the company’s overall business practices and culture.

3) ANNUAL BONUSESAnnual bonuses for senior management (officer and director level employees) are tied to the performance of their people and inclusion objectives. These objectives, which make up one third of their variable compensation, are intended to ensure women and minorities participate in training, promotion and retention opportunities, and that the company’s annual inclusion objectives are being satisfied. 15

4) MENTORING PROGRAMBKC participates in mentoring programs that develop minority-owned businesses. One example is BKC’s participation in the Urban Partnership for Prosperity Program (UPP), an initiative created by The Beacon Council and the Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce. BKC participated in the UPP and partnered with Foster Construction of South Florida, Inc., a small general contracting firm that sought insight into different corporate functions. After two years in the UPP program, Foster Construction of South Florida, Inc. submitted the winning bid to build a BURGER KING® restaurant in Homestead, Florida and successfully completed construction in January 2009.

5) WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP FORUM (WLF) MENTORING PROGRAMThis world-class mentoring program provides employees with one-on-one time with seniorBurger King Corp. employees in one-on-one relationships. The Mentoring Committee of the company’s Women’s Leadership Forum developed and structured the program. Under it, members interview mentors and mentoring candidates, determine matches and monitor the progress of participants. The program seeks to:

• establish a professional relationship between two people, one more professionally experienced than the other;

• provide an avenue for a mentor to help a mentee work toward mutually agreed upon objectives; and,

• promote personal development, career planning, job enrichment, and potential for professional advancement.

DIVERSITY PROGRAMS

At The Coca-Cola Company, diversity means we are as inclusive as our brands. Our strategic framework is focused on The Five C’s:

CommitmentEngage and inspire our System around Diversity as Business (a marketplace and workplace imperative)

Communication Build employee awareness, understanding and support for the business case for diversity

Culture Create a diverse and inclusive environment where we welcome and leverage differences

Consumption Win in the marketplace by appealing to diverse consumers with our brands

Community Invest in nonprofit organizations and educational institutions that advance the Company’s diversity-related community engagement priorities

Our Diversity Speaker Series was started five years ago to promote a deeper and broader understanding of diversity across our employee population. We feature a different speaker every 4-8 weeks to engage our employees on a different aspect of diversity, inclusion and fairness. They are also broadcast live to field locations and are available on our Intranet for employees who may have missed the event due to travel.

Our Diversity Education curriculum has been in place since 2005. We do not believe in the “magic” of one diversity training program, so we have been working to develop a broader curriculum. The program now consists of five education programs for employees, with more in development.

Our Employee Affinity Groups were started over ten years ago, and have created a powerful “viral” effect on our diversity, inclusion and fairness efforts. Each affinity group annually creates a three-year business plan focusing on its organization can positively impact the marketplace, the workplace and the community.

Each year, our senior leaders conduct 25-30 Diversity Roundtable discussions with employees, seeking to gain greater insight into employee ideas and concerns and engaging them in dialogue that will support the development of the Company’s annual People and Global Diversity business plans.

Diversity and Inclusion AccountabilityAt Darden, we understand that “what gets measured gets done” and equally important is leadership accountability for “How” we achieve our results. To that end, all officers are required to have at least one diversity and inclusion objective as part of their Performance Management Process (PMP). They are held accountable for these goals and their bonuses reflect the results. Monthly update reports are provided as a tool for tracking progress. We also measure much more than representation, such as Engagement, Retention and Development of People of Color and Women. In addition, every restaurant manager and Restaurant Support Center team member is held accountable through our PMP process for the leadership competency: “Values and respects diversity.”

Employee NetworksDarden currently has six Employee Networks and an Employee Club at our Restaurant Support Center. The launch of our newest network, Pride Alliance, was a huge success and engaged LGBT employees as well as Allies. These groups are strategically aligned with our business goals and support Darden’s growth goals, and they provide opportunities for individuals to grow their leadership skills. Each of these company-funded networks is supported by a team of Senior Executive Advisors who provide guidance and ensure the networks have the resources necessary to be successful.

To qualify for the scholarship, students must be a single parent and demonstrate that they are seriously pursuing a college degree as a full-time student and are in good academic standing with a minimum grade point average of a 3.0.

Throughout 2009, Denny’s and the Tom Joyner Foundation have awarded a total of $78,000 in scholarships to a deserving single parent student attending Tom Joyner Foundation’s Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs) “School of the Month.” This joint partnership is a reflection of Denny’s and the Tom Joyner Foundation’s shared belief that a commitment to higher education is the key to a better workforce and improved conditions for all communities.

Community OutreachAt the heart of Denny’s Diversity efforts are our local franchise owners and their employees. Together we are able to approach each community we serve and recognize the unique qualities of our customers. Year after year we support local initiatives including: Toys for Tots, Muscular Dystrophy, United Way, and Special Olympics to name a few.

Supplier DiversityImpacting local minority businesses Denny’s marked its 3rd Annual Minority Business Enterprise Summit in Greenville, SC. The MBE Summit was held on October 8th, 2009 at the Greenville Marriott. This event was created by Denny’s in 2007 to offer local minority businesses a venue to engage in one-on-one dialog with Denny’s purchasers and some of its major suppliers, along with other major corporations, in an effort to expand business opportunities to minority-owned businesses. The MBE Summit also offers a series of beneficial workshops to assist minority businesses in various areas of leadership and growth. We are proud to call the MBE Summit a signature event for Denny’s. It offers us a great opportunity to showcase our support for diversity in the local community and to develop new business relationships. Since the inauguration of Denny’s Supplier Initiative in 1995, the company has spent over $1 billion with minority- and women-owned businesses nationwide.

DUNKIN’ BRANDS, INC.

POSITION ON DIVERSITY

DIVERSITY PROGRAMS

For Dunkin’ Brands it’s all about our guests. We strive to understand the needs of the guests that come into our restaurants every day, and to provide them with great tasting products that they love. And our guests are incredibly diverse. They represent a vast array of cultures, experiences and tastes. This means diversity and inclusion has to be a way of life in our organization.

At Dunkin’ Brands we understand that in order to succeed in the marketplace we must not only reflect the diversity of our guests in our employees, franchisees and suppliers, but we must also ensure that diversity is inclusive in cultivating ideas that actively contribute to every aspect of our business.

The following are the areas of focus on Diversity & Inclusion at Dunkin’ Brands:

Employees and CareersWe recognize that people are one of our greatest assets and a key factor in the success of our brands. We are committed to attracting, developing and retaining the best talent to fill each and every job in the corporation, and we believe that our team should reflect the diversity of our guests and the communities we serve.

It is our goal to make sure that our organization is a great place to work for current and future employees of all backgrounds. We pride ourselves on having an open, honest and respectful work environment that contributes to personal and business growth.

We value working with diverse individuals. We believe that combining different backgrounds, experiences, beliefs, personalities, knowledge, skills and ideas creates enriching experiences for our employees, increases creativity and innovation, thereby increasing sales and providing our company with a competitive edge.

With these goals in mind, we make every effort to foster an environment where diversity and inclusion is nurtured. To attract the best possible talent, we partner with minority and women recruiting organizations, industry and grassroots organizations, diversity job fairs, state employment agencies, and university affinity groups. We are constantly reviewing and improving our benefits, including development/retention programs and career growth opportunities to ensure that Dunkin’ Brands remains a great place to work.

Some of our benefits include partner benefits, paid personal time and paid time to do volunteer work in the community.

Supplier Diversity We are committed to welcoming business partners who, like our guests, are very diverse. We understand that to be competitive and delight the guests in our restaurants, we must provide them with the products and service that they expect and deserve. By having a diverse supplier base, it will help us to ensure that we are in sync with the needs of all our guests.

We also understand that having a diverse supplier base improves the economic cycle of our guests. Those business owners and their employees are among the biggest fans of our coffee, baked goods, ice cream-related products and visit our stores often.

27

DIVERSITY CHAMPIONS

We are currently developing our supplier diversity initiative to include minority and women-owned businesses to further strengthen and advance our commitment to franchisee profitability.

GENERAL MILLS, INC.

POSITION ON DIVERSITY

DIVERSITY PROGRAMS

At General Mills, we strive to strengthen our culture of inclusion because we believe that it is essential to our competitive business advantage. It is important for General Mills’ employees to reflect our diverse consumer base which includes people of various backgrounds and lifestyles. A diverse workforce benefits all of our employees which, in turn, benefits our businesses around the world. Diversity drives innovation, productivity, retention and growth within the company and ensures that each employee can reach his or her full potential in an inclusive work environment. General Mills views diversity as a way of doing business and an opportunity to enrich our culture and help develop the economies of our communities.

Caring for our communities is a fundamental value at General Mills. We have a rich legacy of sharing our financial resources, our breakthrough ideas and our championship people with our communities. By reaching out to others, we work to improve the quality of life in our communities in many ways.

Nourishing Lives: General Mills is committed to helping our consumers become healthier, both in product changes and innovations but also through education. General Mills provides tips and guidance on healthy nutrition to the growing Spanish-speaking population in the United States, many of whom are new to the country. The company’s Qué Rica Vida (“what a rich and wonderful life” in Spanish) magazine and website – published entirely in Spanish – is distributed quarterly to homes, stores and community venues. In 2009, an additional condensed version reached 600,000 households as a newspaper insert. The initiative also includes a grass-roots program that is offering nutrition lessons to thousands of Latinas at community centers through a program called Mente Sana en Cuerpo Sano (Healthy Mind, Healthy Body). The classes initially will be available in Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles and northern California. Qué Rica Vida has also tapped Karla Martínez, co-host of Univision’s “Wake Up America” morning TV show, to do a series of 30-second segments offering cooking and nutrition tips.

Nourishing Communities: In fiscal year 2009, we donated nearly $90.7 million to communities across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, China, and many other countries. In addition to our corporate donations, we encourage our employees to volunteer in their communities. A recent survey found that 82% of U.S. employees volunteer. We also serve our communities by providing leadership training to community organizations. The forum, which started in 2004, provides Twin City community leaders an opportunity to learn about effective communications, negotiations, and other key leadership skills to help them run their organizations more effectively and serve people better.

Another way we support our communities are our efforts to support the development of minority-owned businesses with grants to the Metropolitan Economic Development Association (MEDA) in addition to providing board leadership. Our chairman and CEO Ken Powell also hosts a luncheon each year for local Minority Business leaders in an effort to provide them with mentorship and development. General Mills also provides a training forum for local Minority Business Leaders so that they can partake in General Mills’ Leadership development training free of charge.

EmployeeNetworks&DiversityCouncils(Affinity): The first employee network dedicated to diversity was created in 1990. In 1996 we formalized our employee network structure. We currently have 7 networks: Black Champions Network, Hispanic Network, Asian Heritage Network, South Asian American Network, Betty’s Family (GLBT), American Indian Network, and our Women in Leadership group. In addition to our Women in Leadership group, 10 functional women’s groups are also supported, allowing women to connect more closely with other women in their own function for development and support. We also sponsor 9 Diversity Councils which are aligned with our functions and business units. Each of these councils generates tremendous value because of their close proximity to the business.

HYATT

POSITION ON DIVERSITY

DIVERSITY PROGRAMS

We recognize that embracing and achieving true diversity and inclusion among our employees and clients is an ongoing process with exceptional opportunities for business and personal growth. Hyatt’s commitment is best evidenced by our focus on company-wide initiatives. Our initiatives, which include five key elements - commitment, accountability, measurement, development and communication - maintain and enhance Hyatt’s brand for our employees, guests and owners.

Hyatt’s Supplier Diversity program was launched at the beginning of 2000. We created a benchmark with 9% procurement with minority- and women-owned vendors. We tied goals to our executives’ incentive compensation plans. The result: at the end of 2009, our procurement with minority and women vendors has been sustained at 24%.

We introduced a Creating an Inclusive Culture class in 2007. All of our managers go through this mandatory 3-hour class. It provides the next level of diversity and leadership development for our managers and supervisors, allowing them to focus on the conscious and subconscious messages they send that are critical to driving associate morale, performance and productivity. It also provides a forum to discuss challenges and opportunities when dealing with a diverse workforce, work environment and guests.

We expect that by focusing on these messages, our managers and supervisors develop skills and techniques necessary to gain our employees’ loyalty and trust while creating an environment that attracts and retains talent. Additionally, it helps them develop a self-reflective action plan to create a more inclusive team.

Hyatt Hotel Fund for Minority Lodging Management Students is an endowment fund which is now over $1,000,000. This fund was established in 1988 and it seeks to honor the best and brightest minority students enrolled in hospitality management programs. Last year we gave scholarships to 19 students. Thus far, the fund has granted over 250 scholarships totaling over$500,000.

KIMPTON HOTELS & RESTAURANTS

POSITION ON DIVERSITYKimpton Hotels & Restaurants strive to create a workforce as diverse, inclusive and multifaceted as its customer base. The company is committed to a culture that acknowledges, understands, accepts, values and celebrates differences among people, including differences in personality, lifestyle, workstyle, education, experience, as well as race, ethnicity, age, religion, physical ability, sexual identity, gender identity and gender. Kimpton respects diversity by hiring and nurturing individuals with an array of talent, experience, perspective, and backgrounds that will recognize the needs of, and provide exceptional service to our guests.

EMPLOYMENT NON-DISCRIMINATION ACTKimpton proudly supports the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, the federal bill which would prohibit discrimination against employees on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability in the private sector. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees are not currently protected under federal law from being fired, refused work or otherwise discriminated against.

EMPLOYING A CULTURE OF DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION Just as our architecture and interior designs stand out in a crowded marketplace, our employees are becoming legendary in their individualized approaches to care. This arises from a culture of inclusion that recognizes and welcomes individuality and encourages each employee to be the most authentic person he or she can be. The management at Kimpton works hard to create an environment where employees can feel free to be themselves on the job.

KIMPTON GENDER IDENTITY POLICY In 2007, Kimpton added transgender to its inclusiveness policy, making it clear that Kimpton respects individuals regardless of how they choose to identify themselves. Kimpton will hire a candidate for a job whether the candidate lives as a man, woman or any gender designation in between. Additionally, Kimpton has adopted health and welfare plans to support employees who want to address their gender-identity issues.

McDONALD’S CORPORATION

POSITION ON DIVERSITY

DIVERSITY PROGRAMS

In her book, None of Us is as Good as All of Us, McDonald’s Chief Global Diversity Officer Pat Harris states that,”Global Inclusion & Intercultural Management is about moving from awareness to action, seeing differences as strengths and valuing all cultures ... on both sides of the counter.” We believe that leaders hold themselves accountable to learning about, valuing and respecting individuals within our global 3-legged stool. We create the environment and opportunity for everyone to contribute their best. We cultivate relationships that enhance internal and external brand trust. We have the courage to be in the presence of discomfort that results from an inclusive and diverse environment.

We are growing from a culture of diversity, where we have successfully brought in diverse talent, to inclusion, where we can utilize the unique talents and skills of our diverse workforce. Our adoption of global inclusion and intercultural management reflects the fact that we are a global organization that has a myriad of cultures within our system that we need to be aware of, have knowledge about, have skills to manage, and ensure that our behaviors match our values. Three areas that have been crucial in helping us move to global inclusion and intercultural management are our Intercultural Learning Practice (diversity education), Employee Business Networks, and our External Relationships.

In the Intercultural Learning Practice, we have maintained and updated many of our signature career development classes and have added classes that help our employees manage, and be managed, by individuals who may be different from them. The classes give our employees the skills to be effective in a multicultural and intercultural world….on both sides of the counter.

Our Employee Business Networks are true stewards of the business. They not only exist to help their members grow as McDonald’s employees, but they also are exploring opportunities in which they can help the company grow sales, improve our image, and be good corporate citizens. Each of our Business Networks has a national infrastructure and the support of local and national Company leadership. Our Business Networks include African-American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian/Pacific Islander/Middle Eastern, Gay/Lesbian/Allies, and Women’s’ networks. The company also has a Working Mothers Council resource group. Each network has an approved business plan with measurable goals and accomplishments.

Our external relationships are part of the McDonald’s legacy, dating back to our Founder, Ray Kroc. His concept of “Community Trust Banking” or being good corporate neighbors, is part of how we do business every day. Our Owner/Operators are true Brand Ambassadors, as are the thousands of employees that they hire. From volunteering and hosting Teachers Nights to serving on Boards of Directors, our franchisees and employees are giving back to the community every day. From a national perspective, we identify key organizations and leaders with whom we can align and support. These organizations understand our corporate values and have demonstrated their ability to positively impact the larger community. The Arches shine the brightest in those communities in which we have strong relationships.

In addition, all employees must be certified though the company’s annual Code of Conduct policy. Further, employees get personal coaching from supervisors and they learn through hands-on experiences on the job.

Encouraging Performance-Driven Behavior Through Accountability In 2007, we changed how we evaluate individual performance, giving equal weight to the achievement of business results and people results. People results include incorporating inclusion-related goals for all managers such as diverse recruitment, improved retention and employee development. These are key components of our efforts to build and maintain a more inclusive culture.

Beyond salary and bonuses used to motivate people managers, diverse and inclusive behaviors are recognized with the Harvey C. Russell Inclusion Award. This honor is presented to the top-performing associates at all levels of the business in recognition of their distinctive achievements in diversity and inclusion. The award is named after Harvey C. Russell, who broke America’s color barrier when in 1962 he became a vice president of PepsiCo -- the first African-American vice president at a Fortune 500 company.

PepsiCo’s top diversity award is the Steve Reinemund Diversity and Inclusion Leadership Legacy Award, which honors senior leaders who lead teams and champion diversity and inclusion over time. The award, named for our former chairman who was a relentless proponent and advocate for diversity, is presented to leaders who move PepsiCo to new levels of diversity and inclusion accomplishments and behaviors.

Ensuring Governance and Maintaining Feedback To make the most of talent sustainability within the company while ensuring the greatest reach with consumers, suppliers and communities, PepsiCo’s diversity and inclusion initiative is supported by a robust management leadership, governance and board structure.

For more than a decade, PepsiCo has operated with a combination Board of Director oversight, external advisory Board input and very active internal diversity councils. In particular, the company’s external advisory boards, which today include the African American Advisory Board, Latino/Hispanic Advisory Board and, in Canada, the Asian Advisory Council, have played a particularly critical role. They offer counsel and advice to management on a broad range of social, cultural and business issues, including marketing, hiring, supplier development and diversity. Driving Supplier Diversity PepsiCo and its bottler community achieved 2008 spending of approximately $1.25 billion with U.S. minority-owned and women-owned suppliers, marking the sixth consecutive year of double-digit growth in supplier diversity spending.

PepsiCo realizes that strong supplier diversity helps us deliver our long-term procurement objectives, making us more competitive in the marketplace and creating mutually beneficial relationships where we do business. This extends to our commitment in promoting employment and partnerships with community organizations, as well as our financial involvement with minority- and women-owned businesses.

Diversity. It Matters at Sysco!

Sysco is the global leader in selling, marketing and distributing food products to restaurants, healthcare and educational facilities, lodging establishments and other customers who prepare meals away from home. Its family of products also includes equipment and supplies for the foodservice and hospitality industries.

Message from the President and CEO - “Creating and maintaining an inclusive environment that elicits the very best from our associates is essential to our continued success at Sysco. At Sysco, we promote diversity at every level within our organization and believe that employing the very best talent from all groups within the communities in which we live and do business enables us to better serve our customers.”

Workforce - Sysco is proud of the significant and growing presence of women and people of color in our workforce and in leadership roles. Over one quarter of our employees are people of color, and one fifth are women. We’re proud of the fact that talented professionals of all backgrounds view Sysco as a place of unlimited opportunity where they can make a difference.

Diversity Awareness - Any efforts to improve diversity among our workforce would be incomplete if it did not involve our most important partners in this mission: our operating companies. In addition to our Corporate offices, we maintain 177 operating companies across North America. We are proud of the diversity and accomplishments of these operating companies. Sysco offers diversity training and informative diversity and inclusion sessions and articles to promote awareness and education.

Diversity Recruiting - In order to ensure that our workforce and leadership are reflective of the communities and customers we serve, we have developed progressive diversity recruiting strategies and tools. Sysco understands that to remain competitive we must be proactive in recruiting the best and brightest diverse talent.

S.T.E.P. - When we encourage career advancement among our diverse workforce, it not only helps motivate individuals to succeed it also creates a richer work environment of opportunity for everyone and inspires associates across the organization. This is the reason why Sysco created the System to Entry-Level Promotion Program or Sysco S.T.E.P. Sponsored by the Corporate Diversity Department, S.T.E.P. is designed to help motivated associates at our operating companies across the nation advance their careers at Sysco as far as their abilities will take them.

Sysco’s Diversity Internship Program- To be reflective of Sysco’s customer base and workforce, we initiated the Sysco Diversity Internship Program. The Diversity Internship Program is a summer program that exposes highly motivated college students to Sysco, while simultaneously increasing Sysco’s diversity talent pipeline. It allows Sysco the ability to preview diverse college talent for potential future employment. Additionally, students build networks and gain relevant knowledge, skills and experience in the foodservice industry. Sysco’s internship program is specifically designed to allow students the ability to integrate academic theory and workplace experience. It is where the classroom intersects the business world.

Supplier - Diversity plays an important role in every aspect of our business.

Minority and women business enterprises pave the way to a broader palette of products and services, as well as providing new ideas and new ways of doing business. Diversity affords Sysco business the opportunity to draw on a world of new and diverse experiences.
