Major corporations (especially Fortune 1,000), public utilities and government agencies have Supplier Diversity Programs. They often require a certain percentage of the companies that they do business with to be nationally certified Minority or Women Business Enterprises (M/WBEs). They also require their non-diverse vendors to utilize nationally certified M/WBEs as direct or indirect suppliers.
