How Our Non-Diverse Suppliers Create Inclusion

We have integrated requirements for including diverse suppliers into our supplier bidding, selection, and management processes, and in our Supplier Continuous Quality Improvement (SCQI) award. We apply these expectations and requirements to tier 1 suppliers, and we also expect our non-diverse suppliers to report their own spending with diverse-owned suppliers and subcontractors.

You can help us achieve our diversity goals in these ways:

• Contact your Intel procurement representative for reporting expectations and guidelines
• Report your spending with diverse-owned subcontractors related to Intel work
• Ensure that those diverse-owned subcontractors are certified through an industry-recognized certification agency
• Mentor diverse suppliers
• Join Intel at an event to recruit diverse suppliers
