Building Supplier Diversity
(Corporate & Government Invite Only)
(Corporate & Government Invite Only)
Supplier Diversity provides opportunities for corporations and public organizations to diversify their supply chain by incorporating suppliers that are owned by Indigenous, Black, racialized, LGBTQ, disabled, women, Veteran, and refugee people.
Join CAMSC, CGLCC, and IWSCC as they share the benefits of having a Supplier Diversity program and discuss best practices when implementing a program. You’ll also hear first-hand of the journeys that other corporations have had in their efforts to diversify their supplier base.
This morning event would be of value for procurement leaders, buyers, ESG leaders, and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion leaders.

Growing Your Business Through Supplier Diversity
Are you a diverse owned company looking to grow your business?
Supplier Diversity provides diverse owned businesses with greater access to corporate and public procurement opportunities. By connecting diverse suppliers with organizations that are actively looking to diversify their supply chain, supplier diversity is supporting the growth of those businesses that are owned by Indigenous, Black, racialized, LGBTQ, disabled, women, Veteran, and refugee people.
The afternoon event will provide you with the opportunity to learn how certification as a diverse owned business can benefit you, hear from corporate and government leaders on what they are doing to engage diverse suppliers, and network with other entrepreneurs.
As part of the event, diverse owned businesses will also have the opportunity to pitch their company to corporate buyers through our roundtable connections.
