Supplier Diversity
Creating opportunity is the best business practice
Our track record says it all
Since its inception in 1999, the Office Depot Supplier Diversity Team has been providing opportunities for qualified, competitive small businesses and Women- and Minority-Owned Businesses.
So what exactly is a Diversity Supplier?
Diverse suppliers are certified Minority-, Women-, Disabled-, Veteran-, and LGBT-owned businesses, and Small [as defined by the SBA] enterprises. Some of the SBA classifications include SBA 8(a), SDB, WOSB, EDWOSB, VOSB, SDVOSB, and HUB Zone.
