A Commitment to Supplier Diversity
As the largest operating company within Edison International, it has been a key commitment of Southern California Edison to focus on supplier diversity. Thus, the utility kicked off its "Partners in Supplier Diversity" program in January 1998. The program aims to increase the internal awareness of Southern California Edison's commitment to the usage of women-owned, minority-owned and disabled veteran-owned businesses in the area of procurement.
Each department in the utility is represented by a "partner." The Supplier Diversity Department works with each partner on an on-going basis to encourage increased women, minorities and disabled-veteran enterprise (WMDVBE) utilization through individual goal-setting, plan implementation, and results monitoring. When it comes to promoting supplier diversity, Southern California Edison is a recognized leader among regulated utilities.
