Our Supplier Diversity
We actively promote supplier diversity at all levels of our organization and pursue relationships with diverse businesses to supply the products and services we need. Supplier diversity allow us to expand our supplier network, partner with new suppliers, and help make our communities more vibrant, equitable, and resilient. Our supplier database includes businesses that are owned by people of color, women, disabled persons, veterans, and members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community.
