1. Policy Statement
Supplier Diversity Policy Statement
Maintain procurement guidelines for the use of diverse suppliers/vendors to be used by all employees responsible for purchasing. It is our policy to prefer to use a qualified diverse supplier whenever one is both available and able to meet our business terms and conditions at a competitive price. We are not obligated to use a diverse supplier over others when they are not able to meet the business requirements including pricing.
