Our commitment
We are committed to maintaining a diverse supplier base and building relationships with suppliers that reflect the market, clients and communities we serve. We seek to actively identify, develop and do business with diverse suppliers as an integral component of our supply chain services activities. Our ESGS team drives the supplier diversity initiative at EY member firms to promote supplier inclusion.
Small and diverse-owned businesses
We seek suppliers that are certified as at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by one or more minority, woman, LGBTQ+, veteran, service-disabled veteran, person with a disability, aboriginal-indigenous person or a historically underutilized business defined by the local country that can enhance EY’s competitive advantage, and provide innovative and cost-effective services for our clients.
Our advocacy organization membership allows ESGS to participate in activities to recruit diverse contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers of products and services of value. Our supply chain services professionals are not only trained in supplier diversity, but the team also educates suppliers about our supply chain services process through the many activities we support.
Supplier registration
We maintain a supply chain services database that helps us search for qualified suppliers, and we encourage suppliers to register on the database, so they will be considered when sourcing opportunities become available for their industry areas. Suppliers are also encouraged to use the database to update their information and provide electronic versions of marketing materials for our supply chain services professionals to review.
At EY, we search for suppliers who can help us provide exceptional services to clients and support the overall success of our organization. Become a registered supplier.
