We value diverse suppliers.
The CDW philosophy on diversity extends beyond our coworkers, the customers we serve and the communities we live in to include our valued supplier partnerships. The goals of the program are to increase procurement opportunities for direct and indirect spending with small, minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, disabled-owned and other small, disadvantaged businesses.
We are committed to working with small, diverse, high-quality suppliers to deliver creative high-quality products and services, compete for business opportunities and meet our customer’s needs.
A company with approximately 29,000 employees and 520,000 vehicles requires a sizeable supply of goods and services, and our needs cannot be met by a single supplier. Our increasing cooperation with disadvantaged, minority and women-owned companies has allowed us to strengthen our supplier base, and form great partnerships with hundreds of companies who have contributed to our success.
This is why we are continually improving and enhancing our Supplier Diversity Program. We realize all kinds of businesses wish to do business with us and all of them deserve our consideration. Our program allows that to happen. It encourages companies that meet the definition of a diverse-owned business to register with us through our online portal. Managers throughout our company are then encouraged to consider using these diverse suppliers when they are procuring goods and services on behalf of the company.
