Program overview

By supporting small and diverse suppliers, we are positively impacting the communities where we live and work.  Supplier diversity helps innovate, sustain, and progressively transform our supplier base, supporting economic inclusion and development. Supplier diversity is about enhancing competition and ensuring optimal business outcomes.  

Vertex sets small business goals and reports those outcomes to the U.S. government each year. In addition, we’ve expanded our program to internally set and track spend goals with diverse businesses in the U.S. and the U.K. To learn more about our goals, please visit our Corporate Responsibility Report
