ConnXus Speaks “Supplier”

At ConnXus our differentiating factor is our ability to speak to the supplier side of sourcing, helping foster more collaborative buyer-supplier relationships. From our experience in supplier diversity expertise, we believe the key to creating tomorrow’s sustainable supply chains lies in today’s inclusive procurement strategies.

It’s critical for businesses to vet and work with diversified suppliers. Customers today are increasingly expecting corporations to be transparent and act in a socially responsible manner. Working with diverse suppliers helps your buying organisation come up with new product and process innovation. Tracking your diverse spend also promotes business in the public sector and helps you meet government reporting and compliance requirements.

Measure the Impact of Suppliers

We recommend measuring the impact of your diverse suppliers in the communities where you live, serve, and work. Analysing the economic impact of your diverse spend helps paint a better picture of the way your business affects the nation, and the world. Diverse suppliers create sustainability by positively impacting their local economy, creating jobs and generating revenue and taxes.

Diverse businesses can also impact your bottom line. Many are nimble and quick, able to innovate with creative solutions for your business. The nature of these businesses is to drive cost and value creation. Maintaining a diverse supplier base also mitigates risk through sustainability and innovation.

If you’re not being intentional about sourcing from diverse suppliers, your organisation may be missing out on a big opportunity.
