We regularly engage with diverse suppliers to learn about their capabilities and experience.
Contact us at supplierdiversity@highmarkhealth.org if you're interested in connecting with us. These 30-minute meetings are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Our Supplier Diversity Program encourages our suppliers to use diverse suppliers themselves.
First-tier contracts are between our company and the supplier. Second-tier contracts are between the first-tier supplier and its subcontractor(s). It's the first-tier supplier's responsibility to determine if its subcontractors are diverse suppliers and use diverse suppliers whenever possible.
At the end of each quarter, first-tier suppliers have 10 days to submit a second-tier diverse spend report. Email supplierdiversity@highmarkhealth.org for the report template.
