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 1^st-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.
