Diversifying Your Success with Heather Cox

Ask Heather: I just don't understand what supplier diversity means:

A.  Supplier Diversity is a business program that encourages the use of: minority-owned, women owned, veteran owned, LGBT-owned , service disabled veteran owned, historically underutilized business and any group classified as diverse.

Supplier Diversity is not a guarantee of business, rather, it is a commitment towards ensuring that Diverse Suppliers have fair and continuous opportunities to win  businesses in the same ways that their larger and more widely known counter parts do.
