Costco is committed to providing our members with high-quality goods at the lowest possible price in a way that is respectful to the environment – and to the people and animals that produce these goods.
There are many factors that go into how we source our goods. Over the years, we have continued to expand our focus and dive deeper into issues such as human rights further down the supply chain, environmental issues, water stewardship, animal welfare, chemical use, packaging and fisheries. In fiscal year 2021, we enhanced our efforts to work with qualified minority- and women-owned suppliers in the communities where we do business.
More information can be found on our Supplier Diversity page.
While a majority of our merchandise is branded, Costco’s line of exclusive, private-label products called Kirkland Signature™ continues to grow and expand and more information is available on our Kirkland Signature page.
In addition, we have provided further information by specific product in our Product Categories pages of this Merchandising Section. Below provides an easy reference to the topics that go into our sourcing decisions.
