Benefits of supplier diversity go way beyond the bottom line

Food industry leaders shared their experiences in supporting supplier diversity at the FMI Midwinter Executive Conference
As food retailers and manufacturers ramped up their existing diversity and inclusion programs in the wake of last year’s racial unrest and awakening, a large part of those initiatives focused on supplier diversity. In a panel discussion at FMI Midwinter Executive Conference this week, several leaders discussed how they are using supplier diversity to drive a sustainable and meaningful impact to their supply chain, while building their customer base and brand loyalty.
Moderated by James E. Harris, director of diversity & inclusion and supplier diversity at H-E-B, the panel featured Kevin Holt, CEO, Ahold Delhaize USA; Laura Shapira Karet, CEO, Giant Eagle; Steve Spinner, chairman of the board and CEO, UNFI;  and Steve Cahillane, CEO, Kellogg Company. All are members of the FMI Supplier Diversity Committee.
