Sustainability & Corporate Social Responsibility

Reinhart Foodservice is committed to helping the environment through the communities we serve. We’re working toward lessening our carbon and gasoline footprints by using more sustainable packaging and transportation options. We're working to reduce energy while increasing our efficiency by evaluating key items like refrigeration and automation while also utilizing lighting options like LED lights to decrease our energy usage.

The local communities we serve are incredibly important. We encourage our employees to give back to the communities they live in with volunteer opportunities, product donations and community events. At the heart of our community service is remedying food inequality. No one should go hungry. There's value in a good meal which is why Reinhart employees come together to volunteer twice a year during our Seasons of Service. We collaborate with organizations in each market we serve to provide the food banks we volunteer in with essentials they need to continue their often overlooked work.
