Suppliers

SuppliersAt Walmart, we work hard to ensure that the products on our shelves meet the unique needs and wants of every community we serve. That means that we partner with thousands of suppliers in every merchandise category that range from one person shops, to multi-national corporations. Some sell products in just a few stores, others supply nationwide. Maintaining a diverse mix is the key to our success.

Supplier Diversity

In 1994, we created a formal supplier diversity program designed to expand our base of minority- and women-owned suppliers. Currently, we do business with more than 2,500 Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE). The program has grown from an initial $2 million in 1994 to more than $6 billion spent in 2008. Learn more about our program and find out how you can become a Walmart or Sam’s Club supplier.
