Supplier Diversity September is an annual celebration that aims to highlight the advantages of working with a diverse range of suppliers, as well as champion the many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-owned organisations making waves in Australia.
The month-long event, hosted by Supply Nation, serves as a springboard for conversations around the efforts of organisations to support, engage with and develop a prosperous Indigenous business sector, as well as work to close the economic gap. Supply Nation has a database of over 2,000 verified Indigenous businesses, along with more than 440 member organisations committed to supplier diversity. Throughout the month of September, they will showcase Indigenous business on their social media, share success stories and provide insights into increasing engagement between members and suppliers.
Ways you can get involved:
- Host a morning tea or information session for your employees or clients
- Visit the Supply Nation website to download the #SupplierDiversitySeptember promotional pack for your email signature and social media
- Incorporate an article on supplier diversity into your company newsletter
- Hold a meet-the-buyer event and invite Indigenous businesses to attend
