Creating economic empowerment through diversity & inclusion

Economic inclusion & supplier diversity is the core of our diverse and inclusive procurement practices.

Our investment and development of diverse-owned businesses provide economic impact, job creation and can lead to advanced products by accelerating growth, innovation and competitive advantage.

Supplier diversity program

We create economic opportunities for underrepresented communities by procuring products and services from small, minority-, women-, veteran-, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT)-, and disability-owned business enterprises.

To successfully manage our program, we have implemented other tools and programs to help build a world-class program and work to ensure the growth, sustainability and increased competitiveness of our diverse suppliers. These include sustainability planning, mentoring, a robust second-tier program, and scholarships and other external educational opportunities for suppliers.

Our policy

It is our policy to provide maximum practical opportunity to diverse suppliers to provide goods and services to the company as part of our corporate procurement process. The use of diverse suppliers is an integral part of our purchasing procedures, just as equal opportunity employment is central to our personnel policies and procedures.

We recognise that supplier diversity creates a competitive advantage for our company and positively impacts the global community. We believe that the success of the company and society depends on enabling diverse businesses to share and grow in the global market.
