Supplier Diversity is a proactive program at Grange Enterprise that encourages minority-owned businesses to participate in sourcing. This initiative, managed by Enterprise Strategic Sourcing, aims to promote diverse suppliers such as Black, Hispanic, women, veterans, LGBT, and non-Caucasian male-owned businesses. The program also highlights the importance of diversity in the supply chain to enhance business opportunities and community impact. Diverse suppliers are classified based on ownership by minorities, women, veterans, or LGBT individuals. William M. Pollard emphasizes the value of doing the right thing and promoting diversity beyond company walls. However, the program enforces strict consequences for misrepresentation by suppliers to maintain integrity.
