Minority & Disadvantaged Vendor Mission Statement


Our mission is to seek to have our supplier base bear a reasonable relationship to the communities in which we do business by identifying and encouraging equal opportunities for minority-owned, women-owned, and disadvantaged businesses to do business with Stratagraph.

 

 

Purpose


The Stratagraph, Inc Supplier Diversity Program is intended to help facilitate an increase in the number of minority-owned, women-owned, and disadvantaged business enterprises (M/W/DBE's) that work to provide goods and services for Enterprise. It does so by providing assistance and a host of tools to help those with buying responsibility to identify, select, and do business with M/W/DBE vendors who can meet our requirements with regard to quality, timing, capacity, and pricing.
