At Bain, we are dedicated to building a sustainable, inclusive, and responsible supply chain that reflects the diversity of the communities in which we operate. Our Supplier Inclusion and Sustainability Program holistically integrates ethical and environmentally responsible practices into our Global Procurement processes. This includes engaging small and underrepresented businesses, promoting sustainable sourcing, and ensuring ethical labor practices in our supply chain. It reflects our company values, supports our clients’ initiatives and is a key driver of our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals.

Supplier Inclusion is Bain’s strategy to identify small businesses as well as enterprises owned or managed by historically underrepresented groups to participate in our sourcing process. While primarily in North America, we continue to evolve our program and encourage participation in many regions. Our goal is to ensure all qualified businesses have fair access to opportunities within our supply chain. This includes, but is not limited to, enterprises certified by the following organizations:

• National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC)
• Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC)
• Disability: IN
• National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC)
• US Small Business Administration (SBA)
• US Pan Asian American Chamber of Commerce (USPAACC)
• US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
• National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC)
• Minority Supplier Development UK
• WEConnect International
