The Sysco Canada branch in Victoria unveils a new electric truck.
any Sysco products still
considered consumable but not
sellable are donated to a local food
bank. Any fresh produce that can’t
be sold or eaten is hauled away by
a farmer who uses it for livestock
feed or composting. “We try to
eliminate as much food waste as
we can,” Letto says.
In Edmonton this spring, Sysco
Canada’s new solar farm is
expected to generate about 75 per
cent of the annual electricity
needs for a 400,000-square-foot
site. “We’ve never done this in
Canada before. It is exciting,” says
Welter.
And Sysco Canada’s first eight
electric semi transport trucks went
on the road during their first
winter earlier this year. They are
expected to spin off more
sustainable initiatives across
Canada, he says. “We’ve said
publicly that we plan to reduce
our operational emissions by 27.5
per cent by 2030.”
