Supplier diversity
We are working to create jobs and increase economic opportunities for the people and local businesses in the communities we serve. We source products from diverse, women-owned and small businesses.
Our program
Our Supplier Diversity team partners with our business units to integrate supplier diversity into procurement activities, and with national organizations to identify and develop diverse businesses.
Our CVS Health Supplier Diversity team is responsible for managing various efforts in our pursuit of having a supply chain that mirrors the diversity of our customers. Please take a moment to view key members of our team speak about some of those efforts.
