Supplier Diversity: Advancing Equality Through Corporate Contracting
Workshop Description
As the LGBT equality movement moved beyond Marriage Equality, this session will educate attendees on the LGBT supplier diversity value proposition and how economic empowerment will play a key role in the future of the movement. Panelists will explain how supplier diversity completes the Circle of Corporate Diversity: implementing pro-LGBT workplace policies, selling to the LGBT community, and purchasing back from the LGBT business community. This session will detail how ERGs can support their company’s diversity and inclusion initiatives while contributing to the growth and development of LGBT business community at home and abroad; bringing parity to their corporations’ supplier diversity programs.
