Many of the leading businesses understand that success comes from diverse perspectives, and thus they value diversity and inclusion in all aspects of their business. A key part of that commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is supplier diversity and the development and engagement of certified minority, women, LGBT, veteran, disabled, and small businesses.

Supplier Diversity adds value to the organization by ensuring that the businesses supply base mirrors the customers and communities they serve. To that end, many businesses are committed to ensuring supplier diversity is integrated into their strategic sourcing and procurement processes to generate efficiency, innovation, and increased opportunities for diverse suppliers. Furthermore, they are committed to accomplishing this mission by establishing and supporting partnerships with the diverse business community, developing these businesses for growth, and engaging with community organizations that share their commitment.

Together with our diverse suppliers, we can contribute to the long-term economic sustainability of our communities.
