Supplier Diversity

National Diversity Initiative Group

Fujitsu Network Communications is committed to providing procurement opportunities to minority, women, and service-disabled veteran-owned enterprises (M/W/DVBE). We encourage qualified M/W/DVBE companies to participate in our vendor diversity process that provides companies opportunities to compete for business.

Fujitsu established the National Diversity Initiative (NDI) to proactively solicit participation from certified M/W/DVBE companies for all areas of procurement. The NDI office is charged with overseeing and administering diversified business initiatives. The NDI group includes two programs with internal and external focus and is dedicated to achieving Fujitsu’s goals and helping customers exceed their diversity initiative objectives.

It is the policy of Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc to include M/W/DVBEs in the procurement process and to provide the maximum practicable opportunity for competition and award of purchases and contracts. In this effort, Fujitsu is committed to enhance the competitive capabilities of Fujitsu’s M/W/DVBE suppliers and contractors and to foster long-term, mutually beneficial business relationships.
