Target and black-owned businesses
The retailer will add a broad range of products from more than 500 Black-owned businesses and will increase its spending at more Black-owned companies, from marketing to construction.
It will also introduce new resources, like a dedicated team to help Black-owned suppliers scale their businesses to work with mass chains.
Target said it has actively pursued more connections with minority-owned businesses, but is always seeking to improve operations.
“We have a rich history of working with diverse businesses, but there’s more we can do to spark change across the retail industry, support the Black community and ensure Black guests feel welcomed and represented when they shop at Target,” said Christina Hennington, executive vice president and chief growth officer, in a statement.
