1 Values include all diverse designations except suppliers that are SBE/small only

2 SBE/small only (does not include SBEs that are also classified as diverse)

Note: Categorization of diverse designations was refined in 2021, therefore resulting in restatement of our 2020 data.

Our breakdown of 2020 – 2021 spend with diverse suppliers in North America by supplier type is included in the chart below.

Diverse Supplier Spend

DBE: Disadvantaged Business Enterprise

Disabled: Disabled-owned Business

LGBTQ+: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning and Others

MBE: Minority Business Enterprise

Millions USD

VET: Veteran-owned Business

WBE: Women's Business Enterprise

These increases seen across all key metrics (e.g., number of diverse suppliers, spend with diverse suppliers, and proportion of total supplier spend represented by diverse suppliers) are a direct result of the implementation of our Supplier Diversity Program growth strategy that was developed in 2020.

Small/SBE: Small Business or Small Business Enterprise

Other: All additional diversity classifications
