Strategic Partnerships at CDW

We invest time building partnerships with our diverse suppliers and in working side-by-side with them to serve our customers.

A successful business diversity program seeks to provide diverse suppliers equal access to purchasing opportunities, but it also promotes diverse supplier participation reflective of the community and customers; optimizes your supply chain; creates revenue, jobs and wages; builds stronger communities; unleashes economic growth and raises the competition as a corporation needs to meet a diverse supplier spend.

How We're Doing: CDW's Business Diversity Growth Story

In 2007, when we formalized our Supplier Diversity Program, CDW facilitated around $359 million of spending with small and minority-owned businesses. In 2022, that figure grew to $3.6 billion, our highest annual expenditure to date

It means our total spending with our diverse partners has now reached more than $25 billion while the number of them with whom we work also continues to rise year on year, now standing at over 1,400.
