Everything we do at U.S. Foodservice™ begins with our values. They form the basis of our business, our culture and our way of thinking.

Great companies have a shared set of values that drives everything they do and are reflected in how they treat their customers, employees, suppliers and communities. Our values remind us that doing the right thing is also good business. And our investments in Ethics and Compliance, Food Safety and Quality Assurance, Workplace Safety and Diversity are all examples of how we live our values every day.

Our Foundation is built on Integrity, Safety and Quality. These are not extras, or “nice to haves.” They are essential. Nothing is more important to us.

Integrity… We always play by the rules. We act with integrity and we expect the same of others.

 Safety… We are committed to ensuring the safety of our products, our associates, our communities and our environment.

Quality… We offer the highest quality products and service from the best people in the industry.

Our Operating Principles include Responsibility, Accountability, Partnership, Innovation, Openness, Respect and Diversity.

Responsibility… We take our responsibilities seriously. We deliver on our commitments. We make decisions based on facts.

Accountability… We are accountable for our performance, conduct and results. We reward success. We hold others accountable.

Partnership… We are most effective when we work together as a team. We are good partners with our customers, suppliers, fellow associates and communities.

Innovation… We seek to solve problems with creative solutions. We do not rely on how it’s always been done.

Openness… We listen and we speak up. We are committed to clear and open two-way communications across all levels of the organization. Our processes and practices are transparent.

Respect… We always respect others, whether we agree or disagree.

Diversity… We believe that our success is enriched by working with people who are diverse in their perspectives, experiences, gender, ethnicity and backgrounds.

And our Focus in on the Customer.

Customer… We are focused on our customers in everything that we do. We help them to succeed and to achieve their goals.
