Supplier inclusion

Working with a variety of suppliers, vendors, and business partners helps improve our competitive edge in the global marketplace and contributes to our strategic objectives.

In all bidding opportunities we strive to consider businesses owned, controlled, and operated by people of different backgrounds, including women, people of color, veterans, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and individuals with different abilities.

Supply chain management

We are mindful of our impact on the world, and the role our supply chain plays in this. By integrating sustainability considerations into our procurement processes, we’re gaining more transparency to help mitigate business risks and create positive change through our value chain.

We expect all suppliers, vendors, and businesses we do business with to comply with our Global Supplier Code of Conduct, and/or our Global Code of Conduct.
