Supplier Inclusion
The company's initiatives are designed to provide solid business opportunities for a broad range of businesses.
An inclusive supplier base not only makes good business sense, it also maximizes the value of our supply chain through the following:
- Cultivation - We promote development that adds quality and helps proven suppliers grow their businesses through mentoring opportunities.
- Citizenship - We strive to be a good corporate citizen and improve the economies of the communities we serve.
- Compliance - We comply with all regulatory guidelines, adhere to regulatory agencies and meet our spending goals with a pool of certified, high-quality suppliers.
All suppliers are expected to compete on quality, reliability and price.
Programs
Mentor Program
We are committed to developing businesses and establishing mutually beneficial business relationships with these enterprises. The Supplier Development Program was created to establish a broad supplier base and to cultivate and expand business relationships between strategic suppliers and company representatives.
