Supplier diversity Supplier diversity encompasses more than simply tracking spending or “doing the right thing.” It supports our business values and objectives. Being committed to supplier diversity entails developing and implementing strategies that align our supply base with the diverse customers, communities and patients we serve, as well as the diverse markets we seek. Having a successful Supplier Diversity program supports sustainable procurement efforts and is integral to how we support the economic empowerment of underutilized and underserved communities. Further details on our Supplier Diversity program can be found on our website . Working through the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic during the 2019 and 2020 fiscal years, we have maintained our investment in the importance of a diverse supply base. We introduced the BD Diverse Supplier Inclusion Portal to assist in more accurately capturing, tracking and reporting our impact with small and diverse-owned business suppliers, both Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers. Concurrently with our portal introduction, we extended our concerted effort to offer the best net payment terms to small-business suppliers, both diverse- and nondiverse-owned. Both efforts have increased accuracy in the identification of our small and diverse-owned suppliers, resulting in a more accurate picture of our diverse supply base and accomplishments, as well as our remaining opportunities.
