As a leader in Employee Professional Development and CX Consulting services, CSPN recognizes that having a diverse supplier pool is a major competitive advantage and a powerful business too. CSPN is committed to promoting an environment where supplier and sub-contractor diversity thrive. We are taking steps to accomplish this by fostering an inclusive procurement process that provides the maximum opportunity for small and diverse businesses to participate as partners and suppliers of goods and services.

An additional benefit of ensuring that these suppliers are included in the procurement process is increased competition, which leads to lower costs and increased levels of innovation, service and product quality. By utilizing and partnering with small and diverse companies, CSPN will continue to build a supplier base that contributes to our competitive advantage.

Our objectives include:

• Actively seeking out certified diverse suppliers that can provide competitive, high-quality goods and services whose business model is aligned with our business strategy
• Ensuring the inclusion of diverse suppliers as a part of our strategic sourcing and procurement process
• Communicating the value of supplier diversity both internally and externally to all stakeholders.
• Leveraging our supplier diversity results to meet our clients’ supplier diversity requirements

We will measure our success based upon our ability to attain and exceed these objectives.
