Supplier Diversity Data Services

Facilitate diversity supplier programs with D&B's extensive database of diversity classifications

Challenge: For an increasing number of companies, building and maintaining a robust diverse supply base is more than a government or industry mandate – it’s a critical driver of customer loyalty, brand enhancement and competitive advantage. With the changing demographic landscape showing the number of small and diverse businesses increasing, many companies are putting a formal supplier diversity program in place to support broader supply management objectives that include Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals.

Although many companies today are looking to achieve supplier diversity goals, there can be numerous challenges that make it difficult to meet corporate objectives or requirements for federal, state and local government reporting. These challenges include aggregating information on diverse suppliers, finding current and accurate supplier diversity information, and gaining visibility to diverse spend in order to make confident business decisions
