The Black Management Forum says it supports Woolworths' efforts to achieve employment equity.
The BMF said on Sunday that seeking equitable representation is one of the key ways in which South Africa can address economic transformation.
The Forum said the constitutional imperative of employment equity was neither racist nor discriminatory, as it was merely trying to correct what was wrongfully done in the past.
Woolworths has been widely criticised for applying employment equity principles in a recent recruitment drive resulting in calls for a boycott of the supermarket chain.
The trade union Solidarity announced a campaign last Wednesday to force Woolworths to retract job advertisements it believed discriminated against whites.
