Supplier Diversity: The Why, the How and the First 90-Days
Supplier diversity or diversity in contracting are programs that can be either mandatory (i.e., requirement to fulfill state or federal contracts) or voluntary (i.e., procurement/social responsibility strategy). In this workshop, we will discuss both instances and review their benefits (e.g., competitive advantage, cost savings, supply chain excellence, etc.) and consequences of non-compliance (e.g., penalties, public and community relations, etc.). Finally, we will outline actionable items for the first 90 days of starting a supplier diversity program.
