Supplier Diversity

We take our social and environmental responsibilities seriously. Our strong and longstanding commitment to a diverse supplier base exemplifies this. Apple's Supplier Diversity Program was formally established in 1993; since that time the company has continued growing and supporting the suppliers who participate. Apple actively engages in industry diversity leadership activities through many non profits, including the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC), Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), National Veterans Business Development Council (NVBDC), National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), Disability:IN, South African Supplier Diversity Council (SASDC), Supply Nation (Australia), Canadian Aboriginal & Minority Supplier Council (CAMSC), Minority Supplier Development UK and Minority Supplier Development China, as well as supplier diversity business opportunity trade fairs around the world.
