CPChem aspires to drive socially and environmentally responsible procurement practices and strategies. We developed a responsible sourcing program that integrates sustainability and diversity topics into our day to-day procurement operations. Through our responsible sourcing program, we aim to cultivate long-term relationships with suppliers inclusive of minority groups, small businesses, women, LGBTQ+, veterans, individuals with disabilities, service-disabled veterans, historically underutilized business zones and additional groups outlined by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Our objective is to provide these suppliers with opportunities to offer high quality, innovative, competitive and cost-effective products and services. Not all classifications are listed. Ownership by any of these groups means that the business is at least 51 percent owned by such individuals, or in the case of a publicly-owned business, at least 51 percent of the stock is owned by one or more such individuals. Visit the U.S. Small Business Administration's (SBA) classifications for more details.
"We strongly believe that our success depends on having the most competitive, innovative and reliable supply base. We can accomplish this by expanding opportunities to our diverse, small and local suppliers who can help us embrace new ideas, attain a competitive advantage and deliver positive contributions to the communities in which we live and work.”
- Steve Prusak, President and CEO
"CPChem's Supplier Diversity is a proactive and intentional effort to drive local, diverse and small supplier inclusion wherever feasible. This initiative does not aim to give special advantages but to ensure these suppliers have a seat at the table. They are required to be competitive in terms of price, safety and technical expertise, meeting the same high standards we demand for all of our suppliers."
- Angelica McKinnon, Supplier Programs Manager, Global Procurement
