Supplier Diversity Policy Statement

At City of Hope, diversity of skills, experience and cultural background are essential ingredients to providing compassionate patient care, achieving innovative discoveries, and advancing vital education focused on eliminating cancer and other life-threatening diseases in all our communities. We are dedicated to fostering a community that embraces diversity; this is reflected in City of Hope’s supplier diversity policy which affirms that certified diverse and small suppliers have the opportunity, access, and invitation to participate in proposals designed to engage suppliers. COH recognizes the need for and the benefits of sourcing and stimulating the growth of minority, women, veteran, disabled veteran, and LGBTQ+-owned, and historically underutilized business enterprises, as well as small businesses. We, therefore, are in the process of adopting a proactive policy of promoting, engaging, and providing equal access to business opportunities with diverse suppliers. We are committed to ensuring our purchases are procured through a fair and open competitive environment. To support this commitment, Procurement actively collaborates with internal business partners and with diverse suppliers to foster healthy and fair business relations. We understand that a diverse supplier base promotes innovation, provides multiple procurement channels for goods and services, and demonstrates our interest in and commitment to the health and economic growth of the communities where we work, live, and serve.
