Wesco Solutions Thrive on Supplier Diversity Growth
Wesco is committed to supplier diversity and driving socio-economic growth. We promote the participation of minority-, women-, aboriginal-, people with disabilities-, veteran-, service-disabled veteran, and LGBTQ-owned enterprises in our distribution business.
Wesco is committed to promoting the participation of Diverse Business Enterprises (DBE) and Federal Government Small Business Administration (SBA) defined businesses in our distribution business. We increase company value working with certified DBE and SBA businesses through purchasing or reselling opportunities, participating in teaming arrangements and subcontracting whenever practical. We are equally committed to growing our diverse vendor network. We strive to strengthen our supplier diversity engagements to contribute to the economic growth and expansion in the communities we serve.

- Strengthen our diversity supplier community economically.
- Offer DBEs and SBA defined businesses an opportunity to compete on an equal basis.
- Support the demand from customers for value-added and third-party certified diversity partners.
- Focus on building an authentic and engaging culture of inclusion and diversity.
