Incorporate Supplier Diversity into your DEI Strategy

A Talk by Tara Cooper and Dave McFarland

About this Talk

A 2020 report by global management consulting company McKinsey and Company noted an important trend: diverse companies outperform their non-diverse counterparts on profitability. It’s research OpenSesame has known all along.

When companies embrace and foster diversity, they are open to new ideas, ways of thinking, and change. The result is innovation, progress, and improved performance.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is a growing priority in many organizations. Conversations, strategies, plans, and the implementation of DEI initiatives are at the forefront of organizational conversations around the world. This is great news, and it’s a great first step. But many of these conversations limit DEI to within the walls of the organization. If your organization would like to go beyond the typical DEI initiatives to make an impact in your community and industry, a supplier diversity program may be just what you need.

Join us for a discussion about supplier diversity and why it's important in a company's DEI strategy.
