Diversity at Florida Blue is not just about our employees. Florida Blue maintains a corporate policy and commitment to support small, diverse, minority, women and veteran certified business owners and to develop a streamlined program and engagement process that is fully integrated into our company culture. We work to maintain a supply base that is reflective of our markets because we believe that a strong and diverse supply base drives innovation and competitive solutions. At Florida Blue, we support organizations and programs that certify, train and develop diverse suppliers.
We know that our supplier engagement efforts have a positive economic impact on the communities where we do business and our goal is to partner with those companies.
Our supplier diversity program provides numerous opportunities for business owners to participate in networking events. We also sponsor several supplier diversity conferences within each of our markets, which provides a valuable opportunity to learn how to do business with Florida Blue and receive information about upcoming bid opportunities.
In addition, our supplier diversity program is bolstered by our involvement with numerous advocacy organizations that support the growth and development of small, diverse, minority, woman and veteran-owned businesses.
Our company has a robust strategic sourcing process. We maintain a short list of preferred suppliers and have long-term contracts in place with our signifigant suppliers. Opportunities to add new suppliers occur occasionally as our business needs change.
The first step to working with our company is to make sure you understand our requirements.
