Corporate Social
Responsibility Report
A Message from Jeff King
Driving the success of our customers and the communities we serve. Reinhart’s shared purpose
is a call to action, reminding us that we are more than a business: we are an active member of
the neighborhoods, towns and cities across the nation that we call home.

As one of the largest foodservice distributors in the country with more than 5,500 employees
and over 50,000 customers, we have an obligation to be a positive force in our local
communities. Whether it’s through managing a responsible supply chain or by volunteering
with local food banks, Reinhart employees strive for excellence each and every day.

I encourage you to review our corporate social responsibility efforts in 2017, knowing that we
are advancing even beyond these programs. Working for the betterment of our communities
means that we will maintain our status as an employer and distributor of choice. Through our
continuing commitment to act responsibly, Reinhart is living up to the challenge of being a
conscientious corporate citizen.

Thank you,

Jeff King
President and Chief Executive Officer
Reinhart Foodservice, L.L.C.
