Black-owned businesses have been shaping Canada’s food industry for generations. Their impact goes beyond what’s on the shelf—it’s about culture, opportunity and community. At Sobeys, we value long-term partnerships with diverse suppliers who help shape the industry. This Black History Month, we reaffirm our commitment to building lasting relationships that strengthen businesses and communities - supporting businesses proudly made, grown, and thriving in Canada. #blackhistorymonth #blackowned #communityimpact #diversityandinclusion #supportblackownedbusinesses #supplierdiversity
One of the best parts of my work is seeing how supplier diversity isn’t just about business—it’s about opportunity, representation, and lasting partnerships. For years, we’ve worked alongside Black-owned businesses that bring cultural heritage, entrepreneurial spirit, and community impact to the food industry. Black History Month is a time to highlight their stories. Locally made and proudly rooted in Canada, businesses like Sweet N' Nice Ice Cream, Yawdi's, and Aiva WTR are part of a growing community of Black-owned brands driving change. They, along with Taltis Foods Inc. | African Food & Beverage, Tempehine, The Patty Shoppe Ltd , and Hanes Hummus, are just some of the many businesses making an impact—not just this month, but every day. #blackhistorymonth #blackowned #communityimpact #diversityandinclusion #supportblackownedbusinesses #supplierdiversity
