Coller FAIRR Seafood Index

A comprehensive assessment of the largest seafood producers on critical risks and opportunities

Sysco Corporation

Sysco Corporation (Sysco) has a Net Maturity Score of 14/100, positioning it in the fourth quartile of the index. The company is involved in post-harvest activity. Sysco’s highest scores relate to governance, worker representation and protein diversification. On Protein Diversification (31/100), the company ranks fifth in the index. Sysco has a general commitment towards protein diversification, and its product portfolio includes some plant-based products, although it is not clear what share of its overall offering this represents. On Governance (35/100), Sysco’s Board and Audit Committee oversees sustainability risks. The company also has a responsible lobbying policy and reports transparently on topics it has recently engaged public stakeholders on, such as animal welfare and food safety. On Worker Representation (31/100), Sysco includes an overarching commitment to human and labour rights within its Code of Conduct, although specific information on how it implements this policy is lacking. Sysco’s limited public disclosures on Deforestation and Conversion (3/100), Ecosystem Impacts (0/100) and Water Scarcity (8/100) also result in low scores for these topics. The company did not interact with FAIRR during the 2025/26 benchmarking cycle.

Communicating about the Coller FAIRR Seafood Index

The Net Maturity Score an organisation receives in the Coller FAIRR Seafood Index illustrates the understanding and preparedness of the company to manage sector risks and opportunities. Companies with higher scores can still be affected by financially material events. The scores illustrate whether the company can reduce the likelihood of such events and respond effectively should they happen. The Net Maturity Score does not indicate that the company or its protein sources are sustainable.
