What is Supplier Diversity?

Supplier diversity reflects positively on a company’s values and demonstrates a commitment to developing strong, competitive minority businesses. As a matter of policy, many corporations and government entities commit an established percentage of purchasing dollars to minority-owned businesses. Companies that regard MBE practices as a fundamental part of their corporate philosophy are making a significant statement about their social consciousness.

Supporting the Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) program by conducting business with minority-owned and operated companies makes good fiscal sense. Here’s why:

Conducting business with minority-owned companies contributes to a strong economic infrastructure, both nationally and locally. MBEs have a direct effect on increased employment, a larger tax base and growth in minority communities.

By 2010 the minority population is projected to comprise more than 30 percent of the U.S. labor force. By 2050 minorities will make up nearly 50 percent of the U.S. population. Minority buying power increased more than 50 percent in the past decade. Companies that understand the economic impact and competitive advantages of relating to and communicating with diverse cultures have a distinct edge.
