Supplier Diversity
Georgetown University is committed to utilizing diverse businesses as part of the institution’s embrace of its Jesuit values and commitment to the common good. Our vision is to foster a purchasing climate that encourages diverse vendors to compete for University business. We strive to reduce barriers of participation in University purchasing activities and are committed to building relationships with a diverse group of vendors. Below are the three main strategies of our Supplier Diversity Program:
- Supplier Support: providing diverse suppliers with the essential tools and opportunities to engage in business practices at Georgetown
- GU Community Education: informing University departments and business offices on how they can support diverse suppliers
- Leadership Support: engaging department leaders on best practices in integrating diverse suppliers into procurement processes
