Supplier Diversity
• As BT seeks out more leading edge, diverse solutions to meet the new markets it is entering, we must look to diversity in suppliers who can contribute towards this objective by generating a diverse range of ideas and solutions.
• Merit is key
• Our customers are also interested in how diversity is managed and the diversity BT brings.
Diversity Questions
• Today we do not know enough about the diversity in our supply base to judge whether we are making best use of the opportunities that diversity can offer.
• The challenge for this year is to improve our knowledge of our supply base and ensure we continue to capture this information in future.
•We need your help
