Big strategic purchases that affect all Adobe offices to individual buying decisions made by employees traveling for business, purchasing happens at all levels of the company. The concept of supplier diversity is relatively new at Adobe, so they have begun by raising awareness among their employees that they can help foster their values when they spend money on behalf of the business. They ask employees to actively seek out diverse suppliers and include them in their bidding processes. Employees can work with their partners in Adobe Procurement to identify suppliers and add diversity clauses to their RFPs and contracts.
Adobe Procurement is also working with their large, publicly owned suppliers to encourage them to work with diverse suppliers themselves and institute inclusive practices for their own employees. Together, they can expand economic opportunities for underrepresented groups and make all of their businesses stronger.
Adobe values its supplier relationships. Their goal is to build long-term business partnerships with a select group of suppliers that share their commitment to delivering the highest quality products and services. The NVBDC was created for the purpose of providing a credible and reliable certifying authority that would ensure that valid documentation exists of a business’s Veteran ownership and control. As the leading 3rd party Veteran Business Certification, NVBDC works with corporations to find opportunities for certified SD/VOBs, the NVBDC is proud partner with a company that has an inclusive Supplier Diversity program.
