"Supplier Diversity at UPS involves working to ensure that small and diverse businesses have equal footing in the competitive bidding process. Contracts are not awarded based on size or diversity, but we know that working to ensure small businesses and diverse companies have opportunities to bid on contracts, makes UPS stronger. Their solutions provide tremendous value to our customers and shareowners."
–Jose Turkienicz, UPS Chief Procurement Officer and President of Real Estate and Risk Management
This is a business strategy that encourages our supply chain to reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.
We help ensure that qualified small businesses and diverse firms have the resources and access they need to successfully compete for our business.
By working with suppliers who reflect the markets we serve, we see a wealth of benefits: it helps build customer loyalty, contributes to economic development of communities, and provides the expertise and innovation we need to outperform the competition. That is why we are committed to building a diverse and inclusive supply chain.

When you choose UPS for your logistics and transportation needs, know that you are enabling UPS to have an even larger impact on small and diverse businesses through our Supplier Diversity work.
In the U.S. and other select countries, UPS can report our Supplier Diversity spend results to customers each quarter. Because revenue numbers are used to allocate a portion of that spend to each customer, results are available following each quarter’s public earnings call.
Tier 2 spend can be reported via email or entered into your Tier 2 Reporting portal.
If you are a UPS customer, you can speak with your UPS sales person to request that UPS begin reporting Tier 2 Supplier Diversity spend to your company or email the request to diversity@ups.com.
UPS requests suppliers who are not diverse themselves to participate in the UPS Supplier Diversity Tier 2 program. These suppliers are expected to extend our commitment to working with small and diverse businesses by having robust supplier diversity initiatives of their own. Many are asked to report their results to UPS each quarter.
For businesses that may be new to Supplier Diversity, let us help you get started. Our experience can give you a leg up as your company grows in the commitment to approach diversity and inclusion holistically. Working together, we can amplify our impact on economic inclusion.
