Mission & Commitment
Our mission is to advance the economic inclusion of underrepresented businesses and to create shared value across Comcast NBCUniversal and the communities we serve.
Comcast’s supplier diversity program is designed to promote, increase, and improve the participation of diverse businesses within our corporate supply chain – including companies owned by women, people of color, veterans, individuals with disabilities, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals.
Program Overview & Expectations
Comcast NBCUniversal’s supplier diversity program offers every business, regardless of ownership or size, an opportunity to compete for business within our company. It is designed to promote, increase, and improve the participation of small and diversity-owned businesses in our supply chain. Additionally we create economic opportunities more broadly across the supplier ecosystem via subcontracting. We understand diversity is our foundation for innovation.

Additional Information
We believe in providing equal opportunity to qualified suppliers who participate in the bid process. We also know that continuously diversifying our supplier base fosters increased competition and this helps keep the costs of goods and services in line with changing market conditions. Additionally, when we do business with small and diverse businesses, they help create jobs for people within their communities, distributing more opportunity and wealth among members of that community.
We implement best practices to create sustainable relationships with, and economic opportunities for, diverse suppliers. With a goal of developing a best-in-class model, supplier diversity is just one element of our overall diversity, equity and inclusion strategy at Comcast. In addition to doing business with a diverse supplier base, we actively seek to attract, develop and promote a diverse workforce and to support the diverse communities in which our customers and employees reside.
