Standard Vendor Agreement (“SVA”)
All of Kroger’s merchandise suppliers are required to review, complete, sign and return the Standard Vendor Agreement. This Agreement ensures that each of our suppliers
agrees to meet our standards and shares our business policy of putting the customers’ needs first.

Electronic Data Interchange (“EDI”)
Maximizing use of EDI is a key priority of Kroger.
Cooperative efforts through the use of EDI have resulted in
increased accuracy, improved timeliness, and reduced
operating expenses. Kroger supports a variety of different
EDI Transactions, some of which are mandated through an “EDI
Non-Compliance” program. Information relative to available
transactions sets, Kroger’s requirements, and supply chain
programs leveraged through EDI can be found on the Kroger
EDI web site:

Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (“CPSIA”)
Kroger suppliers are required to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including those recently established in the CPSIA. Information on the CPSIA and procedures required by Kroger are available
here.
The Act applies to all consumer products under the jurisdiction
of the Consumer
Product Safety Commission ("CPSC"). All vendors should
become familiar with these requirements, which are described
in more detail on the CPSC website at www.cpsc.gov.
Supplier Diversity
Kroger is committed to partnering with a diverse group of
suppliers, including minority-owned and women-owned
businesses. To facilitate growth of these partnerships,
Kroger has implemented a corporate-wide Supplier Diversity
Program. For more information on our Program and how it may
affect you, click here.
