John,

If you haven't heard of the wholesale corporation Sysco, it needs to be on your radar.

It's the world's largest food distributor, operating behind the scenes to deliver food to public schools, hospitals, hotels and more. And with that food, it's delivering a lot of single-use plastic packaging.

Its plastic use is so out of control, even 92% of Sysco's shareholders have urged the company to use less.1

Add your name today and tell Sysco it's time to phase out single-use plastics.

As the world's largest food distributor, Sysco can lead the way to less wasteful industry practices by cutting out single-use plastic across its operations.

Most plastic packaging, such as the kind used by Sysco and other major food distributors, is used once and then tossed.

In the process of delivering food, Sysco contributes to the mountains of single-use plastic waste piling up in our landfills, in our communities and in our open spaces.2

We've seen it time and again: When a major corporation changes its policies to prioritize health, sustainability and the public interest, other companies follow suit.

It's time Sysco moved beyond plastic. Add your name.

Plastic packaging is the U.S.' single largest contribution to the plastic pollution crisis.3 If Sysco phases out single-use plastics, the industry leader could pave the way for others in the food distribution sector to rely on less plastic, too.

In fact, the impact would be twofold: less plastic polluting our world today, and the potential for more companies to step up tomorrow.

Shareholders agree -- but to ensure Sysco takes concrete action to put wildlife over waste, we need citizen advocates like you to make their voices heard as well.

Tell Sysco to cut out single-use plastic packaging from its operations today.

Thank you,

Faye Park
President
