At Shaw, we believe inclusive sourcing practices expand our network of partners — fueling competition, sparking innovation, and ensuring we work with the best suppliers to serve our customers.
Shaw’s commitment to supplier diversity can also have a significant impact on the businesses in our community by providing access to Shaw’s purchasing opportunities to all qualified suppliers. The award of opportunities to suppliers will be based on criteria established as part of the sourcing request or other criteria that may arise, including but not limited to their relative competitiveness, the value of their offering, and their demonstrated performance. It is Shaw’s purchasing policy to provide access to purchasing opportunities to
all qualified suppliers.
The primary goals of Shaw’s Supplier Diversity initiative are to:
- Create long-term value for our customers, communities, and the business;
- Provide competitively priced and reliable goods and services;
- Help us remain agile, innovative, and ahead of the market;
Participation in our supplier diversity program is based on equal opportunity and does not involve quotas, ensuring full compliance with all applicable anti-discrimination laws.
