Creating and successfully implementing a supplier diversity program requires a strategic approach coupled with an understanding of Procurement as well as DEI. The Clear Company help clients to build inclusive supply chain strategies covering each component of their program:Â
Supplier diversity is a proactive business strategy that promotes the inclusion of diverse owned businesses in procurement activities across the company. Â
Supplier diversity aims to ensure your goods or services are being provided by diverse suppliers; those which are at least 51% owned and run by those from a minority background, for example ethnic minorities, members of the LGBTQ+ community or disabled people. Â
In addition, supplier diversity is a vehicle to positively influence DEI in a company supply chain and industry.Â
Implementing a supplier diversity strategy has numerous benefits for your business including:
The intention to work with a more diverse range of suppliers in line with your organisation’s diversity and inclusion strategy applies no matter the size of your organisation, whether you are procuring multi-million pound contracts or spending a few thousand pounds for a service.Â
All clients can clearly see their progress towards inclusion, the impact of the changes they’ve made and the associated return on investment.
