Our Commitment to Supplier Diversity

Our Commitment to Supplier Diversity

We actively work with our suppliers to nurture a business environment where a wide range of opinions, ideas, and perspectives are valued. Not only does this create a healthier, more inclusive ecosystem, but a better end product as well. Here’s how we work together with our partners to build and support these initiatives.

Diverse Supplier Development Program

Create a supplier development program for under-represented business groups. We will select through this program 5-10 suppliers each year for whom we will offer advisory services, pilot projects, networking opportunities, and access to capital.
