Supplier Diversity

A Supplier Diversity program is a proactive business program which encourages the use of minority-owned, women owned, veteran owned, LGBT-owned, service disabled veteran owned, historically underutilized business, and Small Business Administration (SBA)-defined small business concerns as suppliers.

Many large companies spend special funds on diverse vendors. They are actively looking to spend money on diverse-owned businesses.

Supplier diversity certifications serve as proof that your company meets inclusion program requirements, thereby opening the door to business opportunities that may not be available to non-certified suppliers.
