From the workforce to the supply chain, diversity and inclusion of people and ideas are critical drivers for further growth in any organisation and no longer the ‘box-ticking’ exercises of the past. Forward-thinking organisations are truly embracing and committing to diversity as an integral part of improving profitability and outperforming the competition.

Since it was established in 2006, MSDUK has worked with over 125 global brands to address the issue of under-representation of ethnic minority businesses in their supply chains. Over these 13 years, we have engaged over 1500 EMBs in supply chain opportunities, resulting in nearly £750m worth of business generated.

At the start of 2019, we saw more global brands joining the ever-growing corporate network. We are delighted to welcome Apple, Barilla, Dow Chemicals, EATON, Google,  Herman Miller, Royal Bank of Canada and Sony Pictures and excited with the prospects of more business opportunities for businesses in our network.

We look forward to welcoming sourcing teams from these global companies at the MSDUK 2019 Conference.
