A growing number of companies are realising the value of having diversity in their supply base. Procurement teams are not only winning plaudits for driving economic impact and empowerment in under-represented communities; they also credit these programmes with helping to increase their own company’s competitive advantage.
Procurement professionals are in a prime position to help set a diversity policy, drive it forward and gather the metrics and measures needed to evidence its success.

- The definition of supplier diversity
- How having a diverse supply base can enhance reputation and revenue, as well as reduce risk
- Ways to overcome common pitfalls when establishing a supplier diversity programme
