For more than 40 years Costco Wholesale has been bringing quality products and services to the many communities where we do business. As a company we take pride in finding products that have broad appeal to our diverse and growing member base.

As part of our “treasure hunt” experience, Costco’s buying teams often seek to work with small businesses and diverse suppliers to bring unique items into our locations. These offerings have been featured in warehouse locations in Canada regions and also online at costco.ca.

By focusing on expanding our network of small businesses and diverse suppliers, we hope to continue to bring exciting new items to our members while supporting the local communities where we do business.

Specifically, our goals around supplier inclusion are to:

• Work with qualified small and diverse suppliers in our communities, to provide introductions to do business with Costco.
• Partner with community organizations to identify qualified small and diverse suppliers to support our business.

All suppliers must meet exacting Costco Wholesale standards for quality, value, and service.

Costco Wholesale does not make purchasing decisions based on race/ethnicity, gender, age, or any other protected characteristic. We are dedicated to upholding equal opportunity for all potential suppliers, and our purchasing decisions do not incorporate the use of quotas.
