Colleagues across Sysco GB have been celebrating the organisation’s annual global Purpose Month, with volunteering projects taking place around the country. Sysco’s Purpose Month is an initiative for colleagues from around the world to come together to live Sysco’s Purpose of Connecting the World to Share Food and Care for One Another.
In total across Sysco GB depots, which includes Brakes, Fresh Direct, kff and Medina Foodservice, more than 250 volunteering hours have been undertaken in November.
The volunteering, which has been led by programmes with food redistribution organisation FareShare, coincides with a major milestone for Fresh Direct, which celebrated providing the equivalent of 3m meals across food redistribution charities.
Paul Nieduszynski, Chief Executive of Sysco GB, said: “We are celebrating Purpose Month across Sysco globally with a range of activities aimed at supporting our business purpose which is connecting the world to share food and care for one another.
“Our activity with City Harvest and FareShare are great examples of how the business is living its purpose. I’m equally delighted to see Fresh Direct providing direct support to these organisations by making sure that any surplus fresh produce goes directly to these two fantastic organisations providing meals to families that need them across the country. Providing the equivalent of three million meals is a fantastic milestone.”
