DARDEN RESTAURANTS, INC. • 2016 ANNUAL REPORT 7
We have a social responsibility to our guests and communities,
which is why our approach to citizenship is a key component
of how we fulfill our mission. We bring this to life through:
• A commitment to our Food Principles – that great food
starts with quality ingredients that are sustainably sourced
• Our protection of the natural environment and resource
conservation eorts in our restaurants
• Connection and support for the vibrant communities
where we live, work and serve
We invite you to read more about our commitment
to citizenship at www.darden.com/citizenship.
We are doing what matters most for our guests –
delivering memorable experiences that will bring them
back time and time again. Fiscal 2016 was a great
year for Darden, but there’s more work ahead.
With that in mind, we want to thank our dedicated team
members for their commitment to excellence. They are the
foundation of our success. We also want to express our
appreciation to the Board of Directors for providing strategic
guidance and their commitment to eective, transparent
corporate governance. Finally, we want to thank you, our
fellow shareholders, for your continued support of Darden
and our vision. We look forward to rewarding that support
through our ongoing commitment to value creation.
