A certified diverse supplier demonstrates to an independent organization (non-profit, government), that their business is at least 50% independently owned, operated and managed by one or more diverse owners. Similarly, in the case of a publicly owned business, at least 51% of the stock must be owned by one or more diverse owners.
Obtaining diversity certification authenticates that a supplier meets the requirements as defined by a diverse supplier by completing the process through one of the valid certified agencies.
We accept certifications from agencies that have a rigorous and documented process. See the full list here.
