Supplier Diversity Program

We are committed to continuously developing an innovative and inclusive supply chain. We are proud to partner with a broad network of small organizations and businesses owned and operated by minorities, women, and other diverse populations. Supplier diversity is not only a key supply chain and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiative for Aramark and Avendra International—it is a business imperative that delivers success for our clients, consumers, and communities.

Our mission is to identify and include in our vendor selection process, minority, women, gay/lesbian, veteran, and disabled-owned suppliers who can provide high quality, competitive goods and services required for our customers’ operations. We have implemented systems and practices that enable qualified diverse suppliers to receive appropriate consideration during the qualification, proposal, and award processes. After implementation, we monitor the utilization of our suppliers to help ensure their continued success.
