Hewlett-Packard Supplier Diversity Program, a CSR Program by Hewlett-Packard Company

"To offset some of the potential disadvantages of a concentrated sourcing approach, HP has a global policy and program to ensure that we offer under-represented businesses equal opportunities to become HP suppliers and resellers. These businesses include small, minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. In other countries, they include aboriginal-, ethnic minority- and immigrant-owned businesses. HP has maintained a Corporate Multicultural Procurement Program Office for more than 30 years. We utilized minority- and women-owned businesses these firms to provide logistics services, technical software development, and computer and electronic manufacturing services. We exceeded our target for awards to small minority-owned businesses through increased use of these firms for the repair, replacement and warehousing of HP products, and for providing temporary personnel. We also promote and advance supplier and reseller diversity in a number of ways. Our minority reseller program provides an opportunity to strengthen our relationships with minority resellers and customers and to exchange information and ideas on how we can work together to meet customer needs. HP's Micro Enterprise Development Program focuses largely on stimulating economic growth in low-income U.S. communities. Similarly, our work in microfinance and e-inclusion provides support to small, minority-owned and women-owned businesses worldwide. Finally, we actively mentor our suppliers and host events with local business councils that introduce diverse suppliers to potential customers.”
