SDAC has organized a representative task force that includes Canadian corporations to discuss and work with Canadian governments on how they could implement a Supplier Diversity program.
Supplier Diversity Alliance Canada is requesting the Canadian governments at all levels to develop and implement a social procurement policy that addresses economic growth and social impact through the inclusion of traditionally under-represented suppliers (enterprises that are certified as 51%+ owned, managed, and controlled by Aboriginal people, women, visible minorities, LGBT+ people, Veterans, and people with disabilities) in public procurement opportunities.
Government policy or legislation around inclusive procurement would ensure increased economic opportunity and growth and social impact across Canada, as under-represented suppliers would be provided the chance to grow in terms of business acumen, professional development, business connections and bottom line results.
The creation of a Government Supplier Diversity Contract Program that targets a set percentage of the government procurement would provide greater access to public contracting opportunities for diverse suppliers by enabling diverse suppliers to compete for public contracts. This can be accomplished through a series of proven tactics.
