B. Total Purchases from Minority-owned Businesses – United States

$ billion

2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012
4.2 3.3 2.7 3.8 5.1 5.7

Notes to Data

From 2003 to 2007, purchases from non-minority, women-owned businesses were included within total purchases from all minority suppliers. Beginning in 2008, we provided separate data for women-owned businesses, which accounted in part for the reduced amount of purchases in 2008.

Analysis

In 2012, Ford purchased $5.7 billion in goods and services from approximately 250 minority-owned suppliers and $1.2 billion in goods and services from more than 150 women-owned businesses. Our 2012 results demonstrated the third consecutive year of improvement and exceeded our sourcing goals for both minority- and women-owned suppliers.
