Supplier Diversity
In recent years, higher education institutions have made commitments to explore and create a strategic plan to enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion within their organizations. Procurement Services supports the mission of the University by promoting a culture that embraces diversity and inclusion for all members of the Boston College community.听
The social justice movement and string of recent systematic injustice events have expedited the need for Sourcing & Procurement across institutions to establish a formal Supplier Diversity Program to create a more diverse and inclusive supplier base and to provide increased access and opportunity to underrepresented diverse businesses, both locally and nationally, to provide products and service to each institution's community. Boston College will in 2021 and 2022 identify and implement a third-party capable of helping the university to establish a baseline of current, contracted spend with diverse businesses. Establishing a 鈥渃urrent state鈥� is critically important in bringing credibility to a potential program, and it serves as the launching point in establishing key performance indicators to measure the programs continuous improvement.
