The fact is that a competitive advantage exists, as progressive organizations who have already implemented an effective strategy have realized. A Supplier Diversity commitment benefits a company because it:
- Promotes innovation through the entrance of new products, services, and solutions
- Provides multiple channels from which to procure goods and services
- Drives competition (on price and service levels) between the company’s existing and potential vendors
- Allows a company to take advantage of new opportunities for business expansion with the emergence of new consumer needs based upon shifting demographic realities
- Displays an organization’s commitment to doing business, beyond consumerism, in diverse markets
- Showcases the company’s interest in and commitment to the economic growth of all communities
