Supplier diversity strategic importance
Webinar replay: operating diversity programs with certification checking and Tier 2 reporting built in.
What this video covers
- The replay covers operating a supplier diversity program after the initial mandate: keeping certifications checked and spend reported year after year.
- Certification checking has to be continuous, because an expired certification that still counts turns a diversity report into a compliance exposure.
- Tier 2 reporting from primes is the part most programs cannot produce, and it needs structured collection rather than an annual email request.
- Sustaining the program means attaching inclusion to the same supplier master as risk, contracts and spend, so it survives a change of sponsor.
- The case for continuing is measurement: a program that reports Tier 1 and Tier 2 spend accurately can defend its budget when priorities shift.
