The company aims to add products to shelves from more than 500 Black-owned companies.
Target Corp. is ramping up its commitment to Black-owned businesses. On Wednesday, the Minneapolis-based retailer pledged to spend $2 billion on Black-owned suppliers by 2025.
As part of the effort, Target said it plans to add products to its shelves from more than 500 Black-owned companies. The retailer defines “Black owned” as any business that’s at least 51 percent owned, controlled, or operated by Black individuals.
In the past, Target has made commitments to increase its spend on businesses owned by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) as part of earlier diversity and inclusion goals. But Wednesday’s announcement pertains specifically to Black-owned suppliers.
