Gallagher-Kaiser makes a concerted effort to contract with women-owned business enterprises (WBEs), minority-owned business enterprises (MBEs), and veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. We recognize the following advantages to diversify our supply chain:
- Increased opportunities to buy locally, regionally, or nationally to ensure a good source of supply
- Better quality products and services resulting from competition for the company’s business
- Competitive edge when seeking procurement opportunities that require firms to make every effort to use minority business
- Personalized service from companies because they are typically smaller and more eager for our business
- Enhanced community relations
Gallagher-Kaiser is a member of the Michigan Minority Supplier Development Council and supports other organizations that support business diversity such as the National Association of Women in Construction. Our Corporate Policy Statement is:
"We will promote supplier diversity opportunities to minority businesses that contribute positively to Gallagher-Kaiser Corporation’s financial and quality performance to our customers. Our inclusion and commitment to support the growth and development of these firms will in turn enable our clients to meet their diversity goals."
