Stewardship

 Many of the same things that have driven our growth so far – people, innovation, responsibility, and showing we care – remain vital to our success. Call it stewardship.

What Stewardship Means to Gordon Food Service

Stewardship at Gordon Food Service is the responsibility of demonstrating care for our people, our environment and our communities. We partner with responsible partners, understand our environmental impact, care for our employees and contribute to our communities.
