Encouraging and growing a diverse supplier base is an important part of our strategy of providing the best value to our stakeholders, including the patients we serve and the taxpayers who support us. It is our goal to enhance and increase supplier diversity by engaging in mutually beneficial business relationships with certified minority and woman-owned business enterprises (M/WBEs) at all levels of Parkland’s Supply Chain. We are committed to equipping, empowering and encouraging M/WBEs.
