2014-15 Annual Review

US Foods Corporate Social Responsibility Program is a companywide initiative focused on reducing environmental impact, offering sustainable products and building stronger communities. By implementing a variety of strategies such as reducing idle times, routing deliveries more efficiently and installing energy-efficient, high-intensity fluorescent lights, US Foods has saved more than $28 million in energy and fuel costs. The company opened its first LEED certified distribution facility in Buda, Texas and installed solar panel arrays at six locations across the country significantly improving efficiency and reducing energy usage. To further improve fleet efficiency, the company added five trucks to its Oklahoma City location that run on compressed natural gas and is planning to add additional CNG vehicles in the near future. The company is active in a number of government programs, such as EPA SmartWay, to help reduce its carbon footprint, and continually seeks out sustainable products, including Marine Stewardship Council certified seafood, for customers. US Foods is also committed to strengthening the communities where employees live and work by partnering with Feeding America™, and donating to American Red Cross relief efforts throughout America and the world.
