About our Supplier Development and Opportunity Program
Capital One is committed to supporting the growth of small businesses as well as nontraditional businesses - those owned, operated, managed, and controlled by veterans, persons with disabilities, women, LGBTQ+ persons, and minorities. To that end, we actively work to ensure that these businesses have meaningful opportunities to compete for our commodities and services needs across the enterprise. This commitment enables us to deliver exceptional value to our shareholders, associates, customers, and the communities that we serve.
We also encourage our suppliers to support the growth of these businesses by engaging them when possible - whether directly as they service our contracts or more broadly within their own operations. We ask our largest suppliers to report their spending with these businesses to Capital One on a regular basis.
