Why Report Tier II Spend?

This allows organizations to quantify the broader impact of their diversity programs, highlighting their contribution to economic empowerment and growth among underrepresented groups.
    
    
• Enable Data-Driven Optimization:
  • Detailed Tier 2 spend data helps organizations decide strategically about supplier relationships and diversity initiatives. This information is crucial for refining and enhancing supplier diversity programs to ensure they achieve maximum impact and align with broader business goals.

It broadens the reach of diversity initiatives across the supply chain and provides valuable insights for informed decision-making and strategic optimization. By committing to thorough and accurate reporting, organizations can ensure their diversity programs are impactful, compliant, and aligned with their overall business objectives, fostering a more inclusive and balanced economic environment.
