Grainger supports the growth and development of minority, women, and small businesses, and we utilize these businesses in our daily operations more than ever before. This commitment to growth will be achieved through a comprehensive Supplier Diversity business strategy enabling diverse companies to supply products, goods, and services to our company. We purchase products and services for internal use, as well as to market throughout Grainger’s robust sales channels.
Our commitment
At Grainger, we are deeply committed to supplier diversity. Grainger affords historically underrepresented businesses the maximum practicable opportunity to do business with Grainger.
Customer Benefits
We recognize the importance of meeting supplier diversity goals. Our program provides quality products in every category from tools to fasteners, cutting tools, and trash bags.
Save time and money. We’ve located products that meet diversity requirements for you. There are more than 2,600 items available from certified diversity suppliers. Additionally, more than 15,000 products are available from small businesses that meet Grainger’s quality standards.
We keep track. We offer solutions to help our customers meet their purchasing requirements. Every day organizations commit to actively foster a diverse supplier base that can add value to their businesses and help achieve long-term growth objectives through viable Supplier Diversity Programs. In keeping with this commitment, Grainger customers are requesting supplier diversity reports in order to manage compliance, monitor progress, and meet specific procurement program goals with minority, woman, and/or small businesses. As part of our value-added service, we are able to generate Tier 2 Direct and Indirect Diversity Reports. If you have questions or would like to request diversity reporting please contact your Account Manager or Customer Coordinator.
