Black Team Members & Guests
At Target, our business thrives when we create experiences that foster a sense of belonging for our team members, guests and communities. Belonging is at the core of our diversity, equity and inclusion strategy, which has helped our business grow for decades.
African American Business Council
The African American Business Council (AABC) employee resource group supports career development and creates awareness and advocacy to enrich our team’s inclusive culture. The AABC’s mission is to elevate the development of Black team members, foster moments of celebration and inspire joy.
Black History Month
Every February, Target celebrates Black History Month. We mark the month to reflect the sense of belonging we strive to create for our team members and guests. Throughout the month, our teams gather for special activities with the AABC. Target also spotlights Black-owned or -founded brands year-round in our stores and online.
Supplier diversity
Target is committed to supporting a diverse range of suppliers so our guests can find the products they want and need, helping our business thrive. These partnerships take several forms, including providing access to our resources and expertise; sourcing from diverse creators, designers, vendors, agencies, contractors and suppliers; and mentoring.
Community partnerships
Our rich, 120-year history of partnership, volunteerism, philanthropy and local engagement helps communities thrive. Since our founding, Target has recognized that “making ourselves useful in the world” by caring for our team, guests and communities is essential for sustained growth. We aim to create deep and lasting relationships with the communities we serve.
