We Partner With Diverse Suppliers
Partnering with diverse suppliers is critical to our mission. In 2020, we spent $2.4 billion with more than 600 diverse suppliers. Our 2021 Marketplace Development & Supplier Diversity Report examines the availability of small and diverse suppliers across key procurement categories. The results will be used to build the pipeline of diverse business enterprises, especially within the Black community.
Our Commitment and Purpose
We’ve long been committed to working with woman, minority, service-disabled veterans, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender enterprises. Today we spend $2 billion-plus with these firms, representing more than 40 percent of our total procurement dollars. Quite simply, Supplier Diversity is a core business strategy for us.
Our Supplier Diversity and Development team are professionals who deliver sustainable supplier diversity solutions. The team strives to drive economic value for customers, suppliers, communities, and shareholders by developing and integrating diverse businesses into the procurement process.
