Diversity Policy

Diversity Packaging LLC Minority Procurement Policy

It is the policy of Diversity Packaging LLC to provide opportunities for minority enterprises. In establishing this policy, Diversity is recognizing its responsibilities to the communities that it serves and the society in which it conducts business. The use of minority business enterprises must be a function of our routine purchasing procedures. No potential supplier will be precluded from consideration on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Diversity firmly believes that in a free enterprise system every attempt must be made to fully utilize all of our resources.

The term “minority business enterprise” means a business at least 51 percent of which is owned by minority group members, or the stock of which is owned by minority group members. For purposes of definition, minority group members are African-Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian-Pacific Americans, and Asian-Indian Americans. In addition, because Diversity’s intent is to economically benefit minority communities, minority business enterprises should establish as their goal substantial minority employment in all phases of their business.

Every employee delegated the responsibility to either directly or indirectly commit the expenditure of corporate funds for the purchase of goods and services is charged with the task of making this corporate objective a reality. The Manager of Purchasing is charged with the specific responsibility of administering the Supplier Diversity and the Development Program for Diversity Packaging. The manager of Purchasing will monitor and report at established intervals to Diversity Packaging executive team on our progress under this program.
