Supply Chain Sustainability

Supplier Diversity

At Hitachi Vantara, we recognize the value of diverse suppliers. We consider working with diverse suppliers an integral part of our strategic sourcing and procurement processes. Hitachi Vantara continually seeks the best service, quality and value at the best cost by building mutually beneficial relationships with a broad and diverse supplier base. This base includes owners of small businesses as well as businesses with minority, women, LGBTQ+ or disabled owners.

We believe that supplier diversity gives us a significant position of strength from which to support our clients and perform in the markets we serve. Our Supplier Diversity Program is founded on three basic operating principles:

  • Providing business opportunities for diverse businesses and ensuring that they have fair access to bid and contract opportunities.
  • Growing the number of quality products and services we procure directly from diverse suppliers or indirectly procure through companies who share our commitment to diversity.
  • Communicating the value of supplier diversity, both internally and externally.

How To Register

Hitachi Vantara is committed to working with qualified suppliers who fully meet the criteria established in our Supplier Diversity Program. We welcome all potential suppliers who can add value to our products and fulfill our requirements on a competitive basis. However, we cannot promise to transact business with all suppliers who contact us. If you are interested in registering as a diverse supplier, please confirm that your company meets the qualifying requirements below before submitting a supplier profile form. Requirements include:

  • Qualifying and certifying as a diverse supplier
  • Offering goods and services that Hitachi Vantara purchases
  • Being prepared to qualify as a Hitachi Vantara supplier

Does your company qualify as a minority-, disabled- or woman-owned business?
To qualify, an independent, third-party agency must certify that a minority individual or group owns at least 51% of the business and that one or more of those owners controls the management and daily business operation. Qualified minorities include persons who are:

  • African American
  • Asian/Pacific Islander
  • Hispanic
  • Native American
  • Asian Indian
  • Women
  • LGBTQ+
  • Disabled

Is your company a certified minority-owned business?
Certification is an essential component of our Supplier Diversity effort. "Certification" means that an independent, third-party agency has reviewed the ownership and management status of your business and verified that it is owned by a minority, woman, LGBTQ+ or disabled person. For more information on certification or assistance with the certification process, please contact one of the following organizations:

Does your company offer products and services within the commodities Hitachi Vantara purchases?
Products and/or services for which Hitachi Vantara purchases or contracts:

  • Consulting and business services
  • Consumables
  • Facilities
  • Hardware
  • Marketing and creative services
  • Software

Is your company ready to qualify as a supplier?
As part of our procurement and vendor qualification process, Hitachi Vantara will review the following issues:

  • Type of work
    Is the work and project size reasonable for a company of your size and track record to pursue?
  • Liability insurance
    Is your coverage in line with the expectations of a large company? Do you have the appropriate insurance certificates?
  • Service-level agreement
    Can you meet the deadlines and highest standard service levels for your industry?
  • Type of company
    Is your company privately held? Do you have complete financial statements?
  • Form of contract
    Hitachi Vantara typically utilizes its own contracts. Are you prepared to review and utilize these standard agreements?
  • Background checks
    Are you currently conducting full background checks on all employees and contractors? Can you do so, if required?
  • Pricing
    Do you fully understand the pricing of all components of the goods and services you are selling? Can you be profitable with competitive adjustments to your current pricing models?

It is critical that small businesses or business enterprises with minority, women, LGBTQ+ or disabled owners address these and similar issues in advance to avoid obstacles during the limited timeframe of an RFP or sourcing event.
