) directed

and im

plem

the use of diverse sup

pliers.

Then known as the M

over the years – first with

minorities and

later with the inclusion of non-m

inority wom

veteran-owned

capacity b

initiatives were

soon add

ed to ensure W

uipp

succeed to serve SC

The program has com

e a long way since its early beginnings. In 2013, SC

or 41% of total corp

orate purchases, w

ith diverse firm

s and p

artnered w

comp

th and Ed

E) prog

ram, w

hich features mentorship

and read

s to help d

iverse firms succeed

.

In total, more than $13 b

illion has been sp

ent with d

iverse businesses since SC

E started its Sup

roductive relationship

s have created long
