Quick Tips

Why procurement from diverse suppliers makes good business sense

March 23, 2023

Using diverse suppliers and partners throughout your organization can bring better value to your customers, clientele and the communities you serve.

What makes a company a “diverse supplier”? They are companies that include 51% minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, disabled-owned, and/or LGBTQIA+-owned enterprises.

In addition to meeting corporate social responsibility goals, diverse suppliers can give you:

  1. Access to a wider pool of talent. Diverse suppliers can bring a broader range of experiences, skills, and perspectives to the table. This can lead to more innovative solutions and approaches to business challenges.
  2. Increase customers. Working with diverse suppliers can help businesses better understand and connect with a wider range of customers, including those from different backgrounds and cultures.
  3. Meet corporate social responsibility goals. Many businesses are required to meet certain diversity and inclusion standards as part of their operations, and working with diverse suppliers can help meet those requirements.
  4. Enhance reputation and brand image. Businesses that prioritize diversity and inclusion in their supplier relationships are often viewed more favorably by customers, employees, and stakeholders. This can lead to increased loyalty and positive word-of-mouth.
  5. Spread economic benefit to the community. Supporting diverse suppliers can help to stimulate economic growth in underserved communities and create more job opportunities for underrepresented groups.
