Dr. Busija has asked about the ratio of Kroger's diversity vendors versus the overall total vendors. While I have not been able to find a exact number of total vendors I have found that they are in the multiple thousands. Of these, Kroger has utilized the services of 1,024 women and minority owned businesses. Below is an except from Kroger's sustainability report (page 26).
"In each year from 2006–2009, Kroger spent more than $1 billion with minority and women-owned business enterprises (MBEs and WBEs). As a result, Kroger is a member of the Billion Dollar Roundtable, a prestigious forum of 17 corporations that have achieved $1 billion or more in annual spending with M/WBEs. We achieved this goal by partnering with more than 1,024 M/WBE companies."
