Employee Partners in Supplier Diversity
I make small purchases for my department. What can I do to help?
- In order to create a more inclusive vendor community, those individuals making delegated small purchases must fully embrace the Supplier Diversity initiatives.
- By force of habit, many departmental buyers tend to patronize the same vendors over and over again, without first verifying the availability of vendors.
Please remember to:
- Make use of established term contracts with diverse businesses.
- Be aware of diverse businesses and consider directing department-level purchases to those vendors.
- Share information about new diverse supplier sources.
