Supplier Diversity

Carlson has established relationships with women- and minority-owned businesses across the country. We value working with suppliers who philosophically embrace diversity and view it as a strategic business imperative. We also appreciate suppliers who add value to our organization in the areas of:

• Financial expertise – continuous improvement in the total of ownership for goods and services we procure
• Innovation – creativity to help sustain and drive Carlson brands
• Quality assurance – programs that help ensure “world-class” quality for the goods and services we procure
• Service – responsiveness to Carlson’s needs
• Balance of trade – we value suppliers who also are customers of our brands and services
