Kroger Issues Small Business Resource Guide

05/12/2021

Kroger has made available for free download, a small-business resource guide to encourage diversity among suppliers. The guide is derived from the Kroger Framework for Action: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. This program was introduced in 2020 to encourage sourcing from minority individuals and companies.

Rodney Mc Mullen CEO The Kroger Company

The program has the support of Rodney McMullen, chairman and CEO who stated, "in 2020 Kroger achieved $4.1 billion in diverse supplier spend, representing an increase of 21 percent versus a year ago and built on our commitment to reach $10 billon in diverse supplier spend by 2030".

Kroger has joined with Proctor and Gamble to establish an accelerator providing historically marginalized entrepreneurs access to resources to start and run successful businesses.
