Creating opportunity through supplier diversity and inclusion
Supplier Diversity and Inclusion at Covestro
Through our supplier diversity and inclusion program, we aim to build strong, collaborative relationships with forward-thinking suppliers who share our vision to make the world a brighter place. By giving diverse firms the opportunity to grow with us, we hope to pave the way for strategic business partnerships that allow us to better serve our customers, strengthen our culture of innovation and promote local economic growth.
"We often look to our suppliers and Business Partners to bring new ideas and fresh insights to the table. And we believe that everyone should have a seat at that table."
