Supplier Diversity Program
Your diverse business reflects the values and diversity of the community it serves. We live and work in the same communities — they’re our home, too. That’s why we prioritize diverse businesses that support the values of these neighborhoods.
Through our long-standing Supplier Diversity program, we've maximized the positive impact that suppliers like you bring to our local communities. We believe in it so strongly that we commit a significant amount of our annual spending toward vendor services for diverse businesses — more than $800 million over the last five years.
We also actively support local and national business diversity organizations, such as:
- National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce
- National Minority Supplier Development Council
- Women's Business Enterprise Council
- Urban League
- Minority Business Development Agency
- African American Chamber of Commerce
- Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
- The District of Columbia Department of Small and Local Business Development
From providing the business with a boost to inspiring diversity among his employees, see why Shabir Sumar, Owner, Lehigh Print & Data, says his business “wouldn’t be here without AmeriHealth Caritas’ focus on small and diverse Pennsylvania businesses.”
As we continue to grow and offer our innovative health care solutions throughout the country, we look forward to providing even more opportunities for emerging businesses.
Our commitment to diverse suppliers
Since 2018, we’ve increased our procurement from diverse businesses by 218%. As of 2023, 28% of our total annual spend is with diverse suppliers.
“We thank AmeriHealth Caritas for valuing quality partners, including local and minority women; the health and well-being of its neighbors; and trustworthy business practices.”— Jean Wang, President, Quantum Inc.
