Getting Started - TJX Supplier Diversity Program

Certification Requirements for Minority- and Women-owned Businesses

To participate in our Supplier Diversity Program, The TJX Companies, Inc. requires that your company be certified as a minority- or women-owned business. We accept certification from the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) and the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).

Minimum Requirements for Suppliers

We have a corporate objective to provide great value to our customers. To that end, our suppliers must have a clear understanding of our business requirements, including:

  • Financial stability
  • Proven history of successful projects
  • Understanding of TJX's business and practices
  • Ability to provide high-quality, cost-competitive products and services
  • Acting in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, in addition to maintaining the highest standards of business ethics

Please note that registering with TJX will not automatically guarantee your company a business opportunity. If after reviewing your information, we determine that your company meets our criteria and there is an appropriate match, we will contact you accordingly. Please keep in mind that it may take four to six weeks to receive a response, as we field a high volume of registrations.

Minority- and women-owned suppliers certified by NMSDC or WBENC, can proceed to Supplier Registration.

  • If you are a minority-owned supplier and not certified by NMSDC and your business is based in the U.S., please go to www.nmsdcus.org for information on the certification process.
