Supplier Inclusion
An important part of our commitment to enhancing our communities is our nationwide effort to create opportunities for underrepresented and/or local businesses.
Through our focus on engaging locally-owned businesses, women-owned business enterprises (WBEs), minority-owned business enterprises (MBEs) and veteran-owned business enterprises, we provide opportunities for a wider range of business owners. By encouraging the development of a larger and more inclusive pool of vendors, we benefit from more competitive pricing and higher quality goods and services.
We continued to make steady process increasing our purchases from inclusive vendors in 2025, procuring 14% of our total biddable spend from WBEs and MBEs. We also helped support locally owned businesses throughout our nationwide operations in 2025, purchasing more than 53% of our total biddable spend from vendors based in states where we operate.
