"Sysco expects its suppliers to uphold the rights of individuals as outlined in the United Nation Declaration of Human Rights (UNDHR), the Core Conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. Any act of human trafficking, slavery or child labor within Sysco’s supply chain is unacceptable and is specifically prohibited by the Code (as defined below)."
"Sysco maintains a strict Supplier Code of Conduct (the “Code”) containing the legal, moral and ethical standards it expects of suppliers, including the protection of human rights. Sysco requires each of its suppliers and their facilities to operate in full compliance with the Code and with all applicable national, state, provincial, regional, local and other laws and regulations. The Code also applies to affiliates and subcontractors of suppliers and to their respective facilities to the extent those facilities supply goods for ultimate sale to Sysco. Specifically, the Code states that Sysco will only initiate and renew contractual relationships with suppliers that do not violate basic human rights. "
"In addition, all Sysco Brand approved seafood suppliers in high-risk Latin American and Asian countries must undergo third party assessments to identify potential risks relating to wages, working hours, discrimination, worker safety, living conditions, and child and forced labor. "
