The Kroger Co. 2020 Political Contribution Annual Report Introduction: Political giving is one small way in which The Kroger Co. engages in the political process. We are members of various trade associations that provide government relations services in Washington, DC and in the States in which we operate. We regularly educate legislators and regulators about issues that affect our company, industry, associates, and customers. In addition, we inform our management associates of important issues and occasionally encourage them to contact legislators. On the following pages, you will find a report detailing all of our political giving from the calendar year of 2020. During that period, we gave a total of $744,344.00 to candidates, political organizations, and issue campaigns.
