Supplier Diversity Programs:

Promoting Inclusion and Driving Economic Success

Supplier Diversity Programs play a crucial role in fostering inclusivity and creating opportunities for underrepresented businesses. These programs encourage the utilization of minority, veteran, women, or historically underutilized companies as suppliers. While initially offered by government agencies, Supplier Diversity Programs have now gained traction in numerous industries as large corporations recognize the benefits of promoting diversity throughout their supply chain.

Government Support

Federal, state, and local government agencies have taken significant steps to promote Supplier Diversity Programs. These initiatives aim to level the playing field for businesses owned and operated by those who have historically faced barriers to entry. By offering support and contracts to these underrepresented businesses, the government helps stimulate economic growth, encourage innovation, and foster a more inclusive business environment.

Expanding Opportunities

Supplier Diversity Programs extend far beyond the government sector. Recognizing the value of diversity, large corporations, including banks, universities, and manufacturers, have developed their own programs to advance diversity and inclusion throughout their supply chains. By partnering with diverse suppliers, these organizations enhance their ability to meet customer needs and drive innovation through fresh perspectives and ideas.

How Can Your Business Get Involved?

Diverse suppliers generally include vendors owned and operated by women, members of socially and economically disadvantaged groups, and veterans.
You must get a proper certification if your business falls under any of these categories. Companies with supplier diversity programs rely on certifications to decide whether a potential supplier meets the requirements to be deemed a diverse business.
These programs are designed to help businesses increase profits through increased diversity and inclusion in their supply chain.
The only catch is most look for that Small Business Certification status. 
GSE has a long history of assisting companies in receiving certifications such as

  • Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB/EDWOSB/WBE)
  • Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB/SDVOSB/VBE/SDVBE)
  • Minority Business Enterprises (MBE)
  • HUBZone & 8(A)

How Does This Help Your Business?

Once your small business is certified, supplier diversity programs utilized by Government agencies and giant companies like Google, Johnson & Johnson, and Wells Fargo will all be more likely to choose you as a supplier for their products/services. 
This gives you incredible benefits such as revenue growth, national exposure, and product turnover. 

Why Use GSE?

Government Services Exchange specializes in getting businesses like yours certified quickly and correctly. We have decades of experience helping companies connect to Supplier Diversity Programs globally. So let’s get started today. Call (866) 850-1710.
