Grocery company announces annual application
process for certified diverse-owned suppliers
As part of its commitment to fostering diversity, equity and
inclusion, Albertsons Companies (NYSE: ACI) today announced its
annual application process for certified diverse-owned suppliers.
The program is designed to identify and support diverse-owned
suppliers looking to grow their business with Albertsons Cos. and
its stores.
The application process is open to certified diverse-owned
suppliers, which include individual, small and mid-size businesses
that are at least 51% owned, controlled and operated by women,
Black, indigenous and people of color, LGBTQ+, veterans or people
with disabilities who can offer products that appeal to the varied
tastes and preferences of a diverse customer base.
The Albertsons Cos. Supplier Diversity Program also works with
diverse businesses to overcome various barriers to entry. For many
small and medium-sized businesses, access to working capital is
critical to ensuring their operations grow and thrive. Through a
collaboration with C2FO, diverse-owned businesses can receive early
payment terms on approved invoices, unlocking access to low-cost
capital on demand.
“We believe that when we support and work with underrepresented
businesses, we create an inviting grocery store experience that
brings people together around the joys of food,” said Monique
Lanaux, GVP and Chief Talent & Diversity Officer. “Diverse
suppliers enable us to continually deliver product innovation and
cultural relevance to our shelves, ensuring our curated local
assortments are inclusive of the diverse communities we proudly
serve.”
Qualified diverse business owners interested in having their
products considered for one or more of Albertsons Cos. banners such
as Albertsons, Safeway, Vons, Jewel-Osco, and Shaw’s should submit
their application online at
rangeme.com/albertsonsdiversityprogram23 by Jan. 23.
