The program encourages economic development and provides more opportunities for culturally diverse, Indigenous, LGBTQ+, and women-run organizations to bid for our business in competitive processes. This ensures that our suppliers reflect our diverse customer base and bring new ideas and creativity to the table.
The scope of our supplier diversity program includes Canadian companies that are certified by the Canadian Aboriginal and Minority Supplier Council (CAMSC), Women Business Enterprises (WBE) Canada, or the Canadian Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (CGLCC) We continue to provide thought leadership in the policy development, and growth of supplier diversity in Canada through board and committee representation across all three organizations.
