Is Supplier Diversity responsible for making purchasing decisions?
While Supplier Diversity engages consultants and other diverse suppliers to help with various projects for our program, we are not responsible for diverse supplier purchasing decisions across the organization. Rather, Supplier Diversity serves as a liaison between diverse suppliers and Aetna purchasers. Our role is to facilitate introductions between suppliers and purchasers in hopes that the more aware our purchasers are of the valuable services diverse suppliers provide, the more likely they are to use them.
