For many years BI-LO has actively cultivated relationships with minority-owned and women-owned businesses. It is important for us to have our business relationships reflect the diverse communities that we serve and we pledge to you a continuing commitment to supplier diversity.

Inside this Supplier Diversity Guide you will find information about supplier qualifications, as well as our expectations and procedures for doing business with BI-LO. I hope this will answer any questions you may have about doing business with us.

"Our goal is to create partnerships with our suppliers, to expand our understanding of the neighborhoods we serve and to reach out to all of our customers through our products, promotions and other resources."

Doing business with minority-owned and women-owned businesses is a win-win decision for BI-LO. It allows us to support a very significant percentage of suppliers and demonstrates to our customers the importance that we place on diversity. I look forward to the continued growth and success of our program.
