Thoughts on Supplier
Diversity from our Leadership
“Supplier Diversity is a business strategy of Infoblox that not only emphasizes the creation of a diverse supply chain, but ensures a well-rounded supplier base in the procuring of goods and services. The diverse groups that make up our procurement plans uplift their own local economies by providing jobs, increasing wages, and tax revenue. We’re proud of our supplier partners and their diverse communities.”

See the section above on process for empanelment.
We promote diversity growth in our supplier base in the following ways:
- Identify qualified diverse suppliers to participate in upcoming procurement opportunities
- Screening identified diverse suppliers to determine if a match exists between suppliers’ capabilities and our business requirements. If there is a match then priority will be accorded to the supplier.
If your company has not been contacted for a potential procurement opportunity, either the opportunity has not yet occurred, we do not have a need for the product/service your company provides, or a match between your company’s product/service and our procurement needs has not been identified.
