Supplier Inclusion

Walmart is committed to helping customers save money and live better by creating opportunities for vendors of all sizes. Often, suppliers need the most support when they’re starting out or when they’ve decided to take their business to the next level. That’s why our Supplier Inclusion program focuses on supporting small businesses, helping them grow and benefit their communities.
