Having a supplier diversity program in your organization is hard work, but they’re always worth the effort. Although it costs more money at first, it eventually pays for itself in the long-term. However, one of the common mistakes companies make regarding supplier diversity is having it simply for the sake of having it, which doesn’t translate to a better community relationship. So, how do you properly integrate a supplier diversity program in your company?
Today, we discuss why supplier diversity is more than just a business outreach program and how to have one with intent. We explain how supplier diversity programs can be a source of revenue. We describe the official definition of a small business according to the SPA. We also share how the environment is now being considered when partnering or merging in any industry.
"If you're going to do supplier diversity, be intentional about it." - Adam Moore
