Supplier Inclusion
An important part of our commitment to enhancing our communities is our nationwide efforts 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 reached a key milestone in our supplier inclusion initiative in 2024, procuring 13% of our total biddable spend from WBEs and MBEs. We also helped support locally owned businesses throughout our nationwide operations in 2024, purchasing more than 53% of our total biddable spend from vendors based in states where we operate.
