What is the purpose of the Xerox Supplier Diversity Program?
The Supplier Diversity Program exists to provide opportunities for firms that ordinarily might not be considered as supplier candidates, either because they lack a track record with Xerox or because they lack experience with large corporations. The Supplier Diversity Program arranges for initial contacts within Xerox that can then be explored as potential markets.
