ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY Stewardship is defined as “the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one’s care.” We believe the planet has been entrusted to all of us to safeguard for future generations. Following are some of the most significant and recent steps we’ve taken to minimize our environmental impact.

LEED SILVER CERTIFICATION LEED measures five categories, providing a score based on how well a building’s design and construction meets best-in- class building strategies. The Gordon Food Service Home Office earned a Silver certification.

Home Office Gordon Food Service opened its sustainable, energy-efficient, 384,000-square- foot Home Office in 2012. The building was designed to meet LEED New Construction certification standards and in September 2015, the third anniversary of the building’s opening, leadership announced the building 220 had been awarded LEED Silver Certification.

The reviews evaluated -5.2% -5.5% buildings, processes, automation, refrigeration, lighting, and employee -9.5% -4.1% behaviors. A series of Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) were identified to guide our progress.

This effort will be an ongoing focus for all facilities for years to come. We’ve made advances in water conservation and refrigeration efficiency in 2015.

Our distribution centers in Plant City, Florida; Kannapolis, North Carolina; and Taunton, Massachusetts, implemented VFD (variable-frequency drive) technology to efficiently control refrigeration fans, compressors, and pumps. This process varies the speed of motors based on demand of the load, maximizing the effectiveness of our energy and water usage.

SPOTLIGHT ON IMPERIAL

Gordon Food Service employees practice stewardship daily. It is our practice to avoid landfills and reduce energy through technology and sensible employee behaviors. The following are several ways our Imperial Distribution Center is working to be a good steward to the environment.

Gordon Food Service Stores From Marquette, Michigan, to Key West, Florida, Gordon Food Service proudly operates more than 170 Gordon Food Service Stores. During 2015, our Stores began phasing out the use of plastic shopping bags as a cost- saving and sustainability measure. When disposed of improperly, bags pollute drainage ditches, rivers, city streets, and our oceans, killing birds and marine life. Cardboard boxes are being reused to hold customer orders, and customers are encouraged to bring their own reusable bags. In addition, two types of reusable bags can be purchased at the Stores. We also made indoor and outdoor lighting changes that will save enough electricity to power 3.26 Gordon Food Service Stores for an entire year. Sales floor lighting was changed at 29 stores in 2015, resulting in an expected cost savings of 56 percent. All outdoor fluorescent and neon signage lights were replaced with LED lights, saving an estimated 696,238 kilowatt hours of power.

Transportation Moving freight from our distribution centers to our customers requires a significant amount of fuel. We take advantage of ever-improving engine technology by annually replacing a portion of our delivery fleet with the latest fuel-efficient equipment. • Our automated distribution centers convey product directly into trailers where it can be packed from floor to ceiling without pallets. This enables us to load roughly 200 more cubic feet of product than a traditional palletized load. The fuel savings have been so impressive that even the distribution centers without these automated conveyor systems are manually packing more un-palletized loads because it is more efficient and sustainable.
