A key objective of our supplier diversity program is to maximize opportunities for diverse businesses
About Bechtel’s Diverse Business Program
At Bechtel, we recognize the value that a diverse supply chain system brings to our business. Although we are structured around global businesses that serve a broad spectrum of industries, we all share a common supplier diversity goal: to maximize opportunities for diverse businesses. The term supplier diversity includes small disadvantaged businesses, women-owned small businesses, veteran-owned small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and HUB Zone small businesses. This also includes Minority Business Enterprises and Women Business Enterprises.
Over the years, we have found that working with a diverse cadre of suppliers and subcontractors strengthens our ability to deliver quality projects, enhances the capabilities of the diverse business community, and fosters a healthy business environment.
Many of our project’s subcontract with diverse businesses and work with their customers to set diverse business goals to achieve. We believe that promoting diversity is good for the economy and the communities where we work and live, and we are proud of our record of consistently meeting or exceeding these goals.
Our Procurement and Subcontracts organization works to maximize the use of diverse businesses in a way that enhances our ability to meet the needs of our customers. Our leaders and managers are committed to supplier diversity by staying alert to opportunities that may benefit these diverse businesses, informing our Procurement and Subcontracts organization of those opportunities, and working with our supplier diversity advocates to communicate those opportunities.
As part of our commitment to supplier diversity, we have partnered with MSS Strategic Partners to coordinate and operate our diverse business program. MSS Strategic Partners is committed to helping diverse businesses exceed their goals throughout the nation.
