POLICY AND COMMITMENT
Supplier Diversity Policy
It is the policy of Shaw to provide all suppliers with a fair and equal opportunity to conduct business with Shaw. Shaw's plan is to ensure that it receives products and services of value at the best price. Due to Shaw's dedication to the widest reasonably possible scope of suppliers, we welcome bids from qualified small and diverse businesses.
Employees are encouraged to have an awareness of small and diverse businesses. Diverse suppliers include small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, minority-owned businesses, woman-owned businesses, hub zone small businesses, veteran-owned small businesses, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses.
Sourcing Teams are encouraged to include qualified small and diverse businesses on all lists of qualified bidders receiving a request for proposal (RFP).
