Our Standards
 Inclusive Trade

We carry 160+ products from diverse-owned brands - women-, Black-, Hispanic-, veteran-owned, and more. Look for the yellow Inclusive Trade tag next time you shop.

What is Inclusive Trade?

Inclusive Trade is a supplier diversity program through National Co+op Grocers (NCG). It highlights brands where at least 51% of the business is owned, operated, and controlled by individuals from underrepresented groups. When you see the bright yellow Inclusive Trade logo, you're supporting businesses owned by:

  • Women
  • Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)
  • Members of the LGBTQIA+ community
  • Persons with disabilities
  • Veterans
The Inclusive Trade logo — a yellow circle badge reading "inclusive trade."

Look for the yellow tag

Next time you're shopping, keep an eye out for the bright yellow Inclusive Trade tag — it's your guide to a grocery list that supports diverse-owned businesses, from the farm or kitchen all the way to your cart.

These are just three of more than 160 Inclusive Trade products we carry — spanning Wellness, Grocery, Beer & Wine, and more.

Black Americans make up 13% of the U.S. population but own just 2% of employer businesses.

Diverse-owned businesses are growing fast, but ownership hasn't caught up. Seeking out diverse suppliers on purpose — rather than leaving it to chance — helps close that gap: it grows jobs and economic opportunity in marginalized communities, keeps more wealth with diverse creators, and brings a wider range of flavors and perspectives to our aisles.
