NIKE
At Nike, our approach to business growth is fueled by the belief that diversity – in all its forms — fosters creativity and innovation. Our vision is a level playing field for all diverse suppliers and significant expansion in the use of diverse suppliers at Nike. Business Diversity & Inclusion (BDI) is a business strategy that focuses on the creation and development of a supply chain that incorporates businesses owned by a diverse individual or group. We strive to integrate BDI into how Nike operates to extend our brand leadership, better serve our consumers, drive business growth, expand profitability, and have positive impact in our communities.
OHSU
At OHSU, we recognize that when we do business with U.S.-based suppliers that are owned and operated by diverse groups, such as women, people of color, veterans, LGBTQ+, and disabled persons, it can be vital in fueling their growth and providing a stable source of revenue. But it also provides high-quality products and services for OHSU while creating shared value for all our communities.
We are committed to increasing supply chain opportunities for certified diverse suppliers by providing access to contracting opportunities and supporting supplier development. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are integrated into all our mission strategies and community partnerships, just like compassionate care, quality, and excellence. This will be reflected in the way we use the strengths of all members and in all we do – from hiring to contracting with suppliers to creating a welcoming environment for our patients and those we serve.
ODOT
The Oregon Department of Transportation Procurement Office (OPO) is excited to announce the launch of a Procurement Supplier Diversity and Inclusion Program. This initiative aims to develop a diverse supplier/consultant base and reduce barriers that impact minority, women, and veteran businesses in competing for ODOT contracts, resulting in increased competition. ODOT recognizes the critical role that businesses play in innovation and building stronger communities through economic growth.
OPO is partnering with the Office of Equity and Civil Rights (OECR) to provide training and resources for small businesses and are committed to educating suppliers on how to successfully compete in ODOT Contracting opportunities. OPO and OECR are dedicated to building lasting relationships with suppliers, consultants, and member associations to offer resources, support, and opportunities businesses need to succeed in supporting ODOT’s mission.
