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 accelerating prosperity through mentoring.
Our partners & programs
We define “diverse-owned” suppliers as U.S.-based businesses that are more than 51% owned, controlled and operated by women; Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC); LGBTQIA+; veterans; or persons with disabilities.

Target Plus is a curated selection of products from third-party sellers on Target.com, designed to complement our current assortment. While Target Plus is currently an invite-only marketplace, we are continually looking for new options to bring to our guests through direct brand and authorized reseller partnerships. Are you interested in selling on Target.com through Target Plus?
We support our partners by investing capital, opening access to new markets and sharing our expertise. And we show up and collaborate in a variety of other ways, too, creating networking and business-building opportunities, engaging in sponsorships, mentoring and more.
Creating memorable experiences
Our partnerships extend far beyond our products. Diverse suppliers help us shape the Target experience on many levels, from general contractors building our stores to professionals providing technology support and much more. And we work with a variety of national organizations, programs and initiatives in communities across the country (and create events of our own) to uplift diverse-owned brands and businesses.
- We hold longstanding partnerships with Thomas Harmon from Taylor Bros. Construction Co., Inc. and Brenda Curry from Curtom-Dunsmuir Construction — two black-owned businesses that each have built multiple Target stores — and Lili Hall from Latina-owned KNOCK, inc., who helps create our in-store marketing, among many others.
- We partner with the following national groups and more to further our initiatives and help us develop diverse supplier relationships:
- National Minority Supplier Development Council
- Women’s Business Enterprise National Council
- National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce
- United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
- U.S. Pan Asian American Chamber of Commerce
- National Veteran Owned Business Association
- National Veteran Business Development Center
- Disability: IN
- Target hosts a number of workshops and continuing education events.
