Diverse supplier policy

Strengthening the minority and women-owned business communities contributes to the overall economic growth and expansion of our markets.

Therefore, it is our policy to offer minority and women-owned businesses an opportunity to compete on an equal basis with all other suppliers who meet our product, service, procurement, and contractual requirements.

For purposes of our company policy, a minority-owned business is defined as a company that is at least 51 percent owned, managed, and controlled by one or more minority persons. A woman-owned business is defined as a company that is at least 51 percent owned, managed, and controlled by one or more women.

PwC's Strategy& recognizes the following third-party certifications:

• The National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC)
• The Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC)

Other certifications may be accepted on a case-by-case basis with some restrictions.
