Supplier Diversity and Sustainability

Sparking positive impact starts by teaming up with the right people.

That's why we work with a diverse mix of like-minded suppliers who value consistency, timeliness and cost efficiency to better serve our communities.

Our mission.

We’re committed to driving positive impact in our communities by promoting an inclusive and sustainable marketplace. By understanding the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) effects of our supply chain, we can increase our direct and indirect spend with diverse suppliers who make it easier to create economic value, mobility, and a sustainable future for all.

What we're all about.

Purpose, passion, and positivity are at the center of everything we do – it’s what drives us, but it’s always better when we make an impact together.
