Congratulations to Sysco and Sysco LABS on receiving the 2026 Newsweek AI Impact Award!

A remarkable achievement that highlights the power of innovation, responsible AI adoption, and operational excellence. Wishing the team continued success in shaping the future of AI-driven business transformation.

Sysco Corporation has been awarded a 2026 Newsweek AI Impact Award for an innovative enterprise-wide artificial intelligence (AI) application that enhances supply chain processes, drives sales productivity, and elevates the customer e-commerce experience.

Sysco is being recognised in the AI Brand and Retail – Best Outcomes category for creating and scaling the Sysco Agentic Ecosystem (SAGE), a company-wide AI capability designed to help move AI from experimentation into everyday business operations across sales, supply chain, customer experience, and back-office functions.

Sysco Interim Chief Information and Digital Officer Navin Advani said: “SAGE represents a major step forward in responsible AI operationalisation across a complex, global enterprise. By embedding AI directly into workflows – from sales enablement and customer engagement to supply chain planning, inventory optimisation, and back-office functions – we are transforming AI from a set of tools into a durable operating capability.”

Newsweek’s AI Impact Awards recognise organisations that demonstrate measurable, real-world impact from AI, honouring innovations that go beyond experimentation to drive lasting operational and business value.

This recognition underscores Sysco’s leadership in applying AI responsibly to solve complex retail and supply chain challenges at enterprise scale—setting a benchmark for how agentic AI can be operationalised across industries.
