Xerox Supplier Diversity Program

Strengthening the supply chain through diversity, quality and ethics.

As a global leader in business process and document management, Xerox recognizes that having a diverse supplier pool is a major competitive advantage and a powerful business tool. Our mission in supplier diversity is to take proactive steps in identifying, fostering relationships with, and procuring goods and services from certified small businesses, as well as enterprises owned by minorities, women, veterans, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and individuals with disabilities. These strategic partnerships align with Xerox's corporate objectives, enabling us to enhance our business practices and better serve our clients.

Alissa Weathers, Supplier Diversity & Sustainability Manager

"Xerox's supplier diversity program is fueled by the rich cultural diversity and values of the communities we serve. Throughout the procurement process, we are dedicated to cultivating an inclusive and supportive atmosphere that nurtures mutually beneficial business endeavors. Our goal is to establish enduring partnerships that encourage resilience, innovation, and the development of sustainable products."
