Theresa Barrera
Vice President
Walmart Supplier Diversity
Each year, DiversityBusiness.com announces the
"Top 50 Organizations for Multicultural Business Opportunities,"
selected by over 750,000 diversity business owners. We are pleased to
share that Walmart leads this year's list as the No. 1 corporation in
America providing multicultural business opportunities.
As a
result of our strong commitment to and dedicated efforts in Supplier
Diversity, we have set a new record for diversity spending with a total
of nearly $9.2 billion in 2009, while increasing our 1st-tierdiversity spending by 65 percent since 2006.
We
are proud of this accomplishment but know there is still more work to
be done as we foster diversity and inclusion in our stores, clubs and
beyond. We remain committed to this endeavor and look forward to
updating you on our future progress. To learn more, please visit our Supplier Diversity page.
