One Planet One Table Assortment
Now Serving: The U.S. foodservice industry's largest offering of sustainable and certified products.
In FY2024, we were proud to officially launch our One Planet One Table assortment in our e-commerce platform, Sysco Shop.

This increasing demand for sustainably-focused items also fuels Sysco's business, with One Planet One Table products demonstrating faster growth of sales and volumes compared to items outside the assortment.

Backed by at least one of 20+ leading sustainability certifications and standards, including but not limited to:

Opportunities for Growth
Customers can access One Planet One Table items directly in Sysco Shop, where they can filter for specific sustainability criteria and access details on each item's sustainability claims. We aim to build on these features to help more customers easily identify qualifying products. To do so, we're focused on:
Enhancing transparency, with Sysco releasing National Sales item-level reporting on sustainability certifications and claims in August 2024.
Upskilling our sales team by providing them with assortment-specific training and collateral.
Partnering with suppliers to continually grow the assortment over time.
