Q) Why is supplier diversity important?
A) There are several factors motivating companies to establish supplier diversity programs:

Their organizations have a diverse customer base. By showing support for the demographic groups of its customers, an organization hopes to strengthen its appeal to them. Studies show female consumers are more likely to buy from a company using a woman-owned supplier. Diverse suppliers can act as powerful advocates for the company sourcing from them, especially since some diverse suppliers are politically active in their communities.
Their organizations serve customers that support supplier diversity. Companies that are committed to supplier diversity don’t just select diverse suppliers. They require their suppliers to support supplier diversity.
The government may require it. Federal contractors are expected to subcontract a portion of their award to diverse suppliers.
Their organizations want to demonstrate social responsibility. Many organizations voluntarily use a diverse supplier base because the leadership feels that it is the right thing to do for society and the community.
Diverse suppliers bring added skill sets that prove to be tactically advantageous in a global marketplace.
