Strong Supplier Relationships Set JCPenney Apart
JCPenney is committed to offering merchandise and services that reflect the full range of our customers’ lifestyle preferences. To help us deliver on our brand promise of offering style and quality at a smart price, we pursue relationships with minority and women-owned suppliers that help us provide for the needs of our diverse customers.
We realize that sustaining a strong supplier base requires building relationships with suppliers we trust. That’s why, for more than 30 years, JCPenney has considered our Supplier Diversity program integral to our business success. This program fosters relationships with qualified minority and women-owned suppliers, reflecting the diversity of our Associates, customers and community.
Since its inception, the JCPenney Supplier Diversity Program has realized substantial growth in the purchases of merchandise, goods and services from minority and women-owned suppliers.

Chairman’s Message
For more than 30 years, JCPenney’s Supplier Diversity program has identified, mentored and supported the training of qualified minority and women-owned suppliers to ensure we have a strong supplier base. We believe that having diversity in our supplier base helps keep JCPenney open to innovative ideas and new ways of doing business.
We are proud to be members of the National Minority Supplier Development Council and the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council because we believe our suppliers should reflect the diversity of our customers. Our commitment to minority and women-owned suppliers is a key business strategy that we perceive as a win for all.
