Supplier Diversity at KPMG
KPMG recognizes the benefits of including diverse suppliers in our strategic sourcing events and purchases. Diverse suppliers contribute innovative ideas, services and products that add value to the firm, our clients, and our communities. KPMG’s clients represent a breadth of industries, people and locations, and we believe that our supplier relationships should be reflective of the clients we serve.
KPMG’s Supplier Diversity program comprises the active, deliberate and consistent inclusion of certified businesses owned and operated by members of underrepresented groups (e.g., women, people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, veterans, people with disabilities) in procurement activities and sourcing events. We are committed to growing the representation of small and/or diverse businesses among our suppliers.
Our Supplier Diversity office collaborates closely with KPMG’s national Inclusion & Diversity team to maintain alignment with the firm’s overall I&D strategy.
