Increasing the representation of minority groups in business and government has been a common topic of discussion for decades. Recent global events have only served to increase the prominence of these issues. While employment and recruiting practices have made significant strides in increasing internal diversity, many organizations, both private and public, struggle to bring diversity into their supply chains and procurement.

As experts in the field of supplier diversity, our panelists will be discussing how municipalities, other government agencies, and private organizations can build a Supplier Diversity program into their purchasing efforts in an equitable and effective way.

Representatives from key organizations in the supplier diversity landscape in Canada will address:

What is supplier diversity, and what is it not?

Why does supplier diversity matter to governments?

What does a supplier diversity program look like?

What are the benefits and challenges of building a supplier diversity program for your organization?

What is the economic impact of inclusive procurement?

How can supplier diversity be monitored and tracked effectively? (Did you know? bids&tenders offers suppliers the opportunity to self-identify, so you can more easily recognize them!)
