Our Commitment to
Supplier Diversity
Supplier diversity is a core value at 西班牙&E because it’s the right thing to do, and it helps build economic prosperity.
每年, we work with hundreds of small businesses and enterprises owned by women, 少数民族, service-disabled veterans, persons with disabilities, and individuals from the LGBT community. These suppliers help us meet the needs of our diverse customer base and achieve local and statewide goals for clean energy, safety and reliability.
Our Supplier Diversity Program
We are proud of our robust Supplier Diversity Program, which has a long history of engaging diverse suppliers in our supply chain. 二十年来, our efforts to increase the pool of diverse suppliers 通过 outreach and education have led us to exceed the California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC) supplier diversity goal.
As a regulated utility, we operate our Supplier Diversity Program according to General Order (GO) 156. Under these rules, the CPUC encourages utilities to purchase goods and services from diverse business enterprises.
We are always looking for new and diverse suppliers who can help support our mission and our customers. Start the process by filling out our Supplier Interest Form. Based on the information you provide, we assess whether your business is a good fit to meet our needs. Due to the large volume of inquiries, we are unable to contact every company that submits a form. If there is a need that your company can help fulfill, we will reach out to you.
All diverse suppliers are encouraged to obtain certification, 不需要任何代价， 通过 the Supplier Clearinghouse, a program overseen by the CPUC. The clearinghouse provides certifications for multiple categories of diverse businesses and maintains a database of certified enterprises. Certified firms have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of opportunities, as utilities use the database to identify qualified businesses to bid on contracts.
- Minority Business Enterprise (MBE)
- African American
- Hispanic American
- 印第安人
- Asian Pacific American
- Women Business Enterprise (WBE)
- Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Business Enterprise (LGBTBE)
- Persons with Disabilities Business Enterprise (PDBE). Please note the Supplier Clearinghouse includes certified Service-Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE) in its database, but DVBE certifications are done though the California Department of General Services’ Office of Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Services (OSDS).
To be certified as a diverse business, at least 51% of the business must be owned by one or more woman/women, 少数民族, LGBT individual(s), or people with disabilities. Applicants may seek certification under multiple categories.
The clearinghouse also accepts certification by comparable verification agencies, which can expedite certification 通过 the clearinghouse.
Supplier Clearinghouse certificates are good for three years. A certificate must be current for a diverse business to be considered verified.
