Supplier Diversity in Community and Business

About our supplier diversity program

Capital One is committed to making supplier diversity an integral part of the way it does business—creating mutually beneficial relationships with minority, women-owned, and LGBT businesses.  We seek to identify and encourage ethnic minority, women-owned and LGBT businesses to compete for our commodities and services throughout the Capital One enterprise. The goal of our program is to include diverse suppliers, in every sourcing opportunity wherever available M/WBEs exist. To date, dozens of minority- and women-owned suppliers have benefited from the program. In addition, our Supplier Diversity program has received national recognition for our inclusion of M/WBEs in our supply chain and procurement operations.
