Thought Leadership in Supplier Diversity We are committed to championing supplier diversity and responsible sourcing on a global scale. We proudly collaborate with the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), where for the past three years we have been the named sponsor for WeTHRIVE, a business development education program that has empowered hundreds of women-owned businesses. Internationally, we extend our influence through active membership in key organizations such as Minority Supplier Development UK and the European Supplier Diversity Program, where we have hosted joint events, participated in regional events and been a founding member of a European supplier diversity certification program. Cushman & Wakefield also strives to be a leader in driving supplier diversity in emerging markets. Our Supplier Diversity team collaborates with major clients to define and advance diversity initiatives across the globe, facilitating industry forums and spearheading efforts to support supplier diversity in these critical regions. Our annual Supplier Diversity Day , going into its third year, celebrates supplier diversity across the commercial real estate industry. It began as a virtual event in 2021 and is now conducted in a hybrid format with in-person activities. The event celebrates diverse suppliers, recognizes partners who champion diversity, and includes discussions on topics such as the impact of diverse dollars on the growth of commercial real estate and the value of diverse suppliers in our industry’s supply chains.
