Program overview
How Nestlé USA's supplier diversity program works.
Nestlé runs its U.S. supplier diversity intake through a dedicated SupplierGateway portal covering its six U.S. operating companies: Nestlé USA, Nestlé Purina, Nestlé Nutrition, Nestlé Health Science, Nestlé Professional, and Nespresso. The portal invites certified woman-owned, minority-owned, disability-owned, veteran-owned, and LGBTQ-owned businesses to register in its supplier diversity database, which the procurement group uses to source current and potential suppliers and to notify registered businesses when procurement opportunities arise.
