Supplier Diversity - United States
|
Marriott's commitment to global diversity encompasses every business unit worldwide. We have experienced the benefits that come from working with locally-owned businesses in the communities in which we operate. It's a win for the community and a win for business, yours and ours. And, we intend to do more.
We have a goal to spend 15% with minority, women and LGBT suppliers by 2009. And we are definitely on track. Last year, we spent 13.6 percent or $478 million with diverse suppliers and we're always searching for qualified businesses to work with. Whether it's in our hotels or our second-tier vendor program, we want to find the best way to work together.
We know how hard it can be for a small business with a good idea to find the right door to knock on. Marriott's Supplier Diversity Program was created to make it easier for us to find one another.
